[Elecraft] Re： Elecraft K144XV 2-m module design change

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Grant,

I do agree with you.  For serious contesters, they could go for XV144.  This also gives Elecraft a clear product distinction between XV144 and K144XV.  Different product suit different market demand without too much product line overlap.

主題： Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K144XV 2-m module design change

I suppose the rest of us (non-high-power high band multi-station  
contesters) shouldn't care.

But it seems this is one of those things that benefits a very few  
users at the expense of adding a bit of operational clunkiness for the  
bulk of K3 users  and to what was originally a pretty clean design  
idea with single band coverage.  Heavy hitting contesters, do, after  
all, have other options such as high performance external  
transverters, etc., which they most likely already have on the table.
