Tom, My background is physics, not rf theory. But you're saying that the xv144 gives you better performance than a rig that was designed for that? I guess thats not too hard to believe, but still counterintuitive from my standpoint. Do you think I would get acceptable results from adding a texas microwave (or any brand) on top of the xv144 for 1.2 (or is it 1.4) ghz operation? My main interest in this area are the amsats but I've only managed a few sketchy qso's with a handheld before. Using transverters is uncharted waters for me. The only reason I'm considering one now is that 1. elecraft makes them and 2. a lot of folks seem to use them... so they cant be that bad right? I'm just skeptical of the added noise you introduce into the system with using them. Again though, I have no practical experience. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xverters-tp17697358p17701781.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
