Satellite users don't and I'm sure if some of the "serious" microwave
ops had a choice of using 2m or 70cm in a K3V/U as an IF rather than 10m
or daisy chained tranverters, they'd jump in a heartbeat.

I also think there's a certain amount of transverter snobbery with the
"serious" ops. "Those V/UHF rigs can't be nearly as good as my $1400
German transverter". Back 20 years ago that may have been true. A K3V/U
might win that argument today.
