Looks like very easy integration and the ability to daisy chain there transverter together 50/2/222/ and soon there 432. Only downside? Need to build them.

Compared to Tentec and DEMI, Elecraft transverters seem to be on the
expensive side. And its possible to convert the Tentec 2m to 222.

One thing to watch in the 736 is that module cables tend to be stretched
tight and then to break at the ends. That's what was wrong with the 220
module I picked up at Tulsa CSVHF conference for a song. So I had no
fear of modifications and my mod does seem to make it work like a
receiver should. Details later, probably CSVHF conference. I won't be
able to make Aurora this year.
