DEMI makes a low power (milliwatts) 2M transverter that fits inside the K2
for driving microwave transverters.. I suspect that's as close as we'll get
to Elecraft microwave xverters (though I bet they eventually do a 432 model
if the lower band modules work out)!! But either way, the K2 is about the
finest IF rig you could ever want!!
