[Elecraft] OT: K440XV?

[James Sarte]

Hi Olli,

My primary interest would have been for 70cm FM, but I'm open to
experimentation.  I'm still haven't ruled out purchasing the K144XV just for
that reason.  A small log-periodic and a 160 watt mirage 2m amplifier might
be fun to play with.

Anyway, I guess I should say that it would have been nice if it was
possible to have 2m/70cm internal transverter, rather than just 2m alone.
My original question was more or less leading to that; what sort of
limitations exist in the K3's hardware that prevented such a module from
being designed in the first place?
