[Elecraft] Mobile KM1

[Edward R. Cole]

Actually I think the KX3 is an ideal candidate for HF-70cm as a 
mobile.  The KXPA-100 will handle HF-6m as a "trunk-mount" and the 
KX3-2M extends operation to 2m.  I am hoping we can convince Elecraft 
that a 70cm/50 MHz transverter would find a good market.  I can see 
possibly a clam-shell package attached to the back of the KX3 that 
would house both transverters.  In any case an external 70cm 
transverter can be used to achieve the HF-70cm mobile goal.

If more than 10w is needed on VHF/UHF there are amplifiers available 
from other mfr's that can be "trunk-mounted" for convenience.  There 
are diplexers that permit use of a VHF/UHF dual-band antenna and even 
HF/VHF/UHF triplexers for using a single antenna.

I think a little creativity and the KX3 is your KM1.
