[Elecraft] 2m Transverter Worth it?

[Hank]

I have one in my K3s and use it a fair amount.  I'm also a DXLabs software user, so having 2 meters integrated into one radio with HF - 6m works great.  Besides working FM repeaters and Winlink packet, I run an external 200 watt amplifier for SSB.  There again, the integration with DXLabs software and rotor control makes using a VHF beam really easy.

It's internal to the K3s so no extra gear on the desk.  It performs well enough for me.  I do have the reference lock option installed in the K144XV and the high stability TXCO installed in the K3s.

There are better transverters out there, but this one makes for quite convenient operation.

Wanted to add that I am referring to the Elecraft internal unit (K144XV).

Thanks.
