[Elecraft] KX3, IF for XV144 (vhf contesting) (XV144 update?)

[Samir Popaja]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering how good the KX3 is for IF with XV144 in VHF contesting.

 

I have use  K3 previously and now )Iwould like to have something little
smaller but with same good performance.

 

Little worried after I read this review:

Is any chance for Elecraft to make (KIT UPDATE) for XV144 to use IF on
14MHz, the most transceivers has much better characteristic on 14MHz then on
28MHz. One can choose if they want to make XV144 with 28 or 14MHz IF,
depending on use (CW, SSB, FM).
