Hi ben , I have both 2.4 and 3.4 ghz amps from minikits I would suggest getting in contact with mark kilmer from minikits and asking him although I would think the input and output striplines would be a problem. 73 . mark VK2AMS

Ben just to add to my previous entry , I had a talk to mark from minikits this afternoon on another matter and asked about your question he said the 3.4 ghz module will run at 2.4 ghz but at a reduced output he had one under test and got around 2W saturated but said 1.5 w is achievable without to much trouble , he is ordering more chips for the 2.4 ghz amps so they will be available again in the near future. cheers . mark VK2AMS :D

Thanks.

The idea was to have two transverters (2.4 & 3.4) switched by a relay then connected to the power amp and share the same antenna.

I was only planning to use one transverter at atime any way.
