[Elecraft] K144XV?

[John Burkholder]

I currently use an older model 2-meter mobile transceiver (on the desk) for local repeater contacts, etc.   It's getting tired and will probably need to be replaced before long.  Can anyone tell me what advantages there might be to installing the K144XV 2-meter module in my K3, as opposed to just getting another (less expensive, higher output) dedicated 2-meter transceiver?
