- coverage of entire 2-m band (144-148 MHz, U.S.)
- diode-switched T/R (no relays)
- full integration with K3 (including power-out bar graph, status
monitoring, etc.)
- future option module provides phase locking of crystal osc. to
K3's internal reference; sub-receiver access to 2 m; 144-MHz
low-level I/O
- simplified station wiring (RF, DC, control)
The K144XV increasing K3 band coverage to 160-2 m, which will be great
for those with limited space or the need for 2 m for
portable/mobile/marine operation. But it isn't for everyone, of course.
Some 2-m ops will prefer the slightly better NF and higher power output
of an external transverter.
