[Elecraft] KX3-2M module?

[Dave]

I'm hoping to use it with a 24GHz transverter, so I guess I'll be embarking 
on the extended VFO temperature compensation procedure at sometime after 
deciding on whether to purhase the KX3-2M unit.

However, the more I hear and read about the KX3-2M, the more I'm thinking 
that it's not going to be good enough.  I enjoy using CW on 2M and most of 
the contacts on 24GHz will probably be CW as well, but my transverter is not 
GPS locked, so the combination may not work too well.
