[Elecraft] KX3-2M module?

That sounds OK, at first glance Wayne,

But, what about the phase noise of the LO?  You made a thing about limiting 
these on HF, but on VHF and UHF it is equally important, if not more so 
given that band and even sky noise will be a lot lower than on the HF bands.

Is the 2M module really just an FM unit, or something that we who use 
narrowband modes, like CW and PSK31 would only just put up with and is 
really only going to be of any real use to FM (and/or AM) operators?

Hi Oliver,

Frequency corrections due to temperature compensation can occur as often as 
once per second, though they happen less often during steady-state receive 
or transmit. We're limited by synthesizer step size to corrections of about 
+/- 3 Hz at 2 m.
