[Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter

[Jim Lowman]

Yes, I have a Kenwood TS-2000X, which is good for 100 watts on 6m and 
2m, 50 watts on 432 MHz and 10 watts on 1296 MHz.  I bought it for that 
purpose.

The only thing missing is the 222 MHz band, and the only activity on 
that band in this, the second-largest metropolitan area in the US, is 
during contests, and most of that is on FM. Apparently that was not the 
case here, 10 or so years ago.  I don't think your IC-9100 does 222 MHz, 
either.

With a K3S, I wouldn't even consider using the TS-2000X on HF.
