[Elecraft] K144XV

[Brett Howard]

If you have the sub-receiver (and are willing to purchase 2 FM filters)
then you've got the ability to do diversity on 2 meters if you so wish.
You can also have the K3 doing dual VFO listen.  Such as using the main
VFO down on the HF bands while the sub RX monitors a local repeater...
