1) It ain't Elecraft.
That could be a plus -- that 20 year old series of transverters had
serious stability problems, thanks at least in part to seriously flawed
construction. RF I/O was on BNCs that were isolated from the chassis! I
bought a set of three used around that time, still have the 2M unit. I
sold the 6M unit after the band started showing up on HF rigs, donated
the 220 MHz unit to the N6RO contest station.
Their positive features are 1) RX had a pretty good front end; and 2)
great flexibility with respect to RF drive on TX. I think I'd heard that
frequency stability wasn't great, but don't take that for certain.
2) The XV-144 is out of production as you well know.
$600.00 is well within the realm of reasonable for the right buyer.
Not in light of the above.
