[Elecraft] [K2] Using the K2 above 29 MHz

[Edward R Cole]

Steve - VE3SMA,

I see the same thing on 2m using my K3 with a DEMI transverter.  The 
K3 will tune 28-32 MHz in transverter mode but there is not enough 
drive above 30 MHz.  My 25w transverter drops to 7w at 146.52 (30.52 
MHz IF).  So its not usable at the FM end of 2m band.

Whether this a limitation of the DEMI unit or K3 is 
debatable.  Result is unusable.

Rather than get upset, I just use a 2m-FM radio at frequencies >146 
MHz.  But I see your conundrum as you would like to use a higher 
freq. for IF on mw.

KX3-2M works fine over full band, and the KX3-2M is my mw IF radio.
