If you only want an FM box for 2M, then yes, buy a separate radio. However, if you need SSB/CW for DX and contests, then the internal unit is the only way to go.

About 3 or 4 years ago I asked an Elecraft employee about adding their internal 2 meter addition to my K3 and he talked me out of it. He said I'd be better off with a 2 meter mobile rig or even a cheap 2 meter HT. That was enough to dissuade me as companies don't often knock their own products. I bought a Yaesu FT-991 on closeout for under a grand that covers HF, 2 meters and 70 CM. Now I have a backup rig to my K3 and VHF/UHF bands for almost solely repeater use. I'm glad the employee gave me honest advice. I have and use the internal 2 meter transverter in the K3S, but didn't know they made any others. I use it occasionally for 2 meter FM, more for SSB, and also to drive external transverters for 23cm and 3cm.
