Friends, I need four additional Elecraft Transverters to complete my 9 band K3 microwave station and put it into competition in the VHF/UHF/Microwave contests. Ive been using transverters (902, 1296, 2304 3456, 5760 and 10 GHz.) feeding them into an IC-7000 (144 MHz. IF) up until now this has worked out fairly well. Our team has finished in the top 3 rover category in the nation in the past few contests. This past June we had a great score in the new Un-limited rover class and should again place very high. For pictures and soap box go to Waynes, N6NBs write-up at http://www.arrl.org/contests/soapbox/?con_id=154
I would like to be the first (mostly) Elecraft station to win or place very high in the VHF and M/W contests. The ultimate VHF/UHF/Microwave station would utilize the rock crushing filters/DSP in the K3 (needed on mountain tops where high RF is always present) along with 9 XV transverters; XV144, XV222, XV432 and an additional six XV144s that will be used as I.F.s for the other six M/W bands. As you can imagine this is not an easy or inexpensive proposition . separate transverters, antennas and amplifiers on each band! So . Im looking for four additional VX144 transverters, working or not, to add to our station. The cheaper the better. Ive already put a ton of money and resources into this project. Ive been selling off equipment that I had at the Fresno State Universitys, now defunct, HF and EME station. Fortunately I owned the majority of it. Please let me know what you have to offer. Unfortunately, my new K3 isnt due to arrive for 3-4 months (I just ordered it), but on the other hand it gives me time to acquire components and build the station. 73, Dave / W6TE DM-06 Fresno, CA (559) 323-6095 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
