[Elecraft] 472KHz transverter for KX3

[Dominic Baines]

Dave (and a couple others commented similarly) This is probably why I 
suggested two options 1. dumb so not 'integration' so the dial you will 
have to do the math... and 2. then when the software catches up (a few 
other things appear to be missing still like SSB DVR) perhaps can have a 
display that says 472KHz etc rather than the IF.

Either way should hopefully not change the construction of the 
transverter it does mean that I may need to be aware of the IF choices 
that KX3 might use.

If a 10MHz or some other frequency for an LO is available great if not, 
I am already building an LO for use anyway and I could make it 
switchable IF Elecraft do provide it later. I have 472KHz available now 
so cannot wait for 18 months for a software update from Elecraft, if it 
were open source maybe I could add it?
