Is there any interest in Transverters for the lower bands?

Post by VK3XDK »

Gday all,
Many may have missed my post (in "First 630 metre contacts")
Im considering making a transverter available for these very low bands.

There is quite a bit of work involved. Although interested myself I wont bother designing an available Kit/board unless others are going to be interested.
Im thinking towards a selective and good dynamic range receiver strip (to cope with adjacent broadcast) and around 1W TX strip (iF there is enough interest i could design a second higher power tx stage in the future (many many be able to do it themselves?))

As most are (or will become aware) our "commercial" transceivers fall very short when it comes to both RX and TX on these low bands.

I really dont need the extra work, but it may be a "goer" if I get enough interest!

cheers, Graham VK3XDK

Just a reminder for forum posters.

There is no need to post the same topic across multiple forums.

For two reasons;
1) Discussion can become fragmented very quickly (which one do I post in?!!!)
2) Using the "View new topics" will catch all new topics/posts for you anyway.

As discussion for Graham's transverter for the lower bands (brilliant idea, BTW) has already started in the "other thread" viewtopic.php?f=45&t=11127, I'll lock this one to prevent fragmentation.
