[Elecraft] Would anyone like to see an all-mode VHF/UHFoffering from Elecraft?

[John Marvin]

One issue with the XV transverter option is that they only cover part of 
each of the bands, dropping the regions primarily used for FM repeater 
and FM simplex use. Even if someone wants the transverter primarily for 
non FM modes, they still might want to be able to also use the rig for 
FM repeater base station operations. Even the KX3 2m module recognizes 
this by providing coverage for the entire 2m band, plus extended range 
at reduced sensitivity, whereas the XV144 only covers the lower half of 
the band.
