[VHFcontesting] XV222+K2: One More Thing

[John D'Ausilio]

In case there are other K2/XV owners .. this is the solution to this
particular problem :)

I use all four XVs for the Jitney's low-band station, and another
XV144 to drive microwaves. They definitely have their quirks, but
overall I've been happy with the combo ..
