[Elecraft] Are the internal 2m Transverter and the external XV144 the same internally?

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

No, they are quite different.
Different boards, different size, different logic, different adjustments.
The XV144 design point is for CW/SSB at the lower end of the band.  The 
K144XV covers the entire band and switches crystals half-way.  It will 
do FM.

The XV144 can be used with most any rig and can be driven to full power 
with less that 1mW or up to 8 watts.  There are jumpers to set the innut 
power level.  It can also use either split 28MHz IF or a single coax.
To the 144MHz antenna, you can use either one coax or a separate ones 
for TX and RX.  The XV144 is thru-hole construction and it must be 
assembled piece by piece.  The K144XV is SMD and if a kit, you assemble 
the board and enclosure and plug in the cables.
