[Elecraft] K144XV Option

[WW2R Elecraft]

There was talk by Wayne when the K144XV was introduced that the K144XV could
be wired for a separate 144rx ports, but I have seen nothing written up so
far. 

I noticed that there was a 3 pin header (normally with jumper) near the
unused cable outlets marked "144IF" in the box cover. Investigation revealed
that by removing the jumper and connecting a coax centre conductor to the
centre pin of the 3 and the coax shield to the previously unused pin
(ground) I had a separate 144 receiver Input. I have an rg174 lead coming
out of the back panel, there is probably a prettier way!

Perhaps this will get "officially" written up some day?

Hello Joel,

However, it only has ONE coaxial connector on the rear of the radio, so you
lose the 
ability to have a separate receive input like you can on all the other
bands.   The 
option for a 2m transverter set up is ELIMINATED when you install the
K144XV.  

Hope this helps!  GL and VY 73, Lance
