[Elecraft] XV144 details

[k7gt at charter.net]

I am about to jump into the world of transverters with the purchase of 
an XV144 to pair
with my K2. The K2 is a very early S/N but has had 'most' of the 
updates. I would like to
make the use of the transverter as painless as possible. So I checked 
out the 60m mod
page on the Elecraft reflector. There seems to be much going on that 
doesn't really
concern my primary interest (getting on 2m cw/ssb for 
mountaintopping/SOTA trips). Not
that 60m coverage wouldn't be a good thing. So I ask, is the KV60 (?) 
the best way to go?
There apprered a cascade of 'other' mods if I wanted to actually use 
60m, etc. Some
advice by someone who has been there, please!!

Oh, I am currently using one of the transverter in/out port holes in the 
upper panel for
a jack to charge the internal LiFePO4 battery pack installed a month 
ago. I could
relocate the jack, but would really rather not. I do have the KIO2 
installed.
