Kjeld,
I agree with Conrad PA5Y, both Kuhne Engineering or HA1YA make very
good transverters and are available in EU.
I would add the DEMI L-series transverter which now is made by a
company called Q5 (located in US) for any NA hams reading the mail on
this topic.
I use DEMI transverters on digital-eme on 144, 1296, and higher (have
had 144,222, 432, 1296, 3456, and 10-GHz models).
I also use preamps located at antennas on 6m, 2m, 432, 1296+ Even
though local electronic noise can be high at times, when its not they
make a huge difference. Only for 6m (50-MHz) would I agree that it
might not give much help (but if you have a K3, it needs either a PR6
or other preamp to bring up 6m &10m sensitivity; not an issue with
K3s or K4). MY KX3 with internal preamp ON = my K3 + PR6 in sensitivity on 6m)
The early reports on the IC-9700 were not favorable for freq
stability (though I read they had addressed this, lately). Still
investment in K3s + good transverter will beat the IC-9700 without a doubt.

Digital modes on 144MHz only
I plan for a second station to use for digital modes on 144MHz only.
If you look at performance only (no price, no ergonomics, no use
outside digital modes on 144MHz) what would you prefer
1) K3/K3S with internal transverter
2) IC-9700
In both cases I plan to use a 1kW amplifier.
