[Elecraft] K3 Transverter / 2m unit

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Alexandr,
I have not noticed any drift at all with my K144XV with internal temperatures to +60 degrees C.
I must admit though at this stage I have not used it for digital modes, only SSB + FM.
No-one has ever commented about any drift on my signal.

  As I am now to decide to buy K144XV or stay with some external -  let 
  me ask here:

  What is thermal stability of internal 116/118MHz Xtal osc?
  I mean some experience with JT data mode in EME or similar. Is there 
  some drift on 144MHz signal (during longer TX period) and how much if any?

  Thanks for any practical experience,

  73!
