[Elecraft] XV144 transverter firmware

[Pierre-François (f5bqp_pfm)]

Hi Don,

Thanks for your response Don,  the design of these XV transverters which 
have been done many years ago for the k2 line is something I understand 
perfectly.
Since this time the technology has moved up, this is the reason why I 
decided to improve mine.
However once more the design of the packaging (flat, light, pretty... ) 
and the integration into the k2/k3 line is excellent, this 
daisy-chaining is perfect, avoiding externally complex and ugly cabling.
The shame is there is no 23cm transverter into this XV line, probably 
I'll integrate one of my 23cm transverters into an XV144 I'll depopulate 
keeping the IF and control logic parts.
My goal is to replace my IC910H (2m/70cm/23cm) with the k3 plus XV 
series, but with improved performances.

You're doing an excellent job guys (Elecraft team), continue going up, 
we love this.

Best 73's
Pierre-Francois, F5BQP
