[Elecraft] Modifying the K2 for use as an IF radio for the microwave bands

[Steve Kavanagh]

For a while now I've been working on a project to install a low power 2 metre transverter inside an Elecraft K2, in order to use it as an IF transceiver with transverters for the microwave bands.  I got it done this summer and used it on 10 GHz during the ARRL 10 GHz and Up Contest, as a "plug-and-play" replacement for one of my aging FT-290Rs.  I have just finished writing this project up, as it may be of interest to other microwavers.  The description is at
