[Elecraft] two 2m-Transverters for diversity reception on 2m

[David Pratt]

Joe - It might be useful to upgrade to the latest K3 v4.10 beta 
software. It provides some changes to the way the transverters are 
addressed.....

* K144XV BAND-DATA OUTPUT ADDRESS RANGE INCREASED:
Originally, CONFIG:XVn ADR was always set to "INT TRN1" to enable
the K144XV. This set all band data outputs on the ACC jack to 0. Now,
XVn ADR has of "INT TRN0" to "INT TRN9" for the K144XV. Band-data
outputs are set accordingly. This may be useful when the K144XV is
used as an IF for higher-band external transverters. (If you have a
K144XV, the original INT TRN1 will now be INT TRN0 in the menu.
This is the new recommended setting if you're not using external
transverters in conjunction with the K144XV.)
