Hi,
I see from the archives that a 70 cms transverter was proposed two years
ago. Is there any news on this? I would buy the 2m and 70 cms today were
both available. My use would be satellite tracking with the IC-7800 as the
control unit.

Well the IC-7800 would drive 2m and 70cms transverters, later also a 1.2 GHz
transverter and a 2.4 GHz converter (RX only). As I have the IC-7800 which
is a great radio especially with the panoramic display I want to make more
use of it. When using a Linear transponder such as that on FO-29 or
I seem to remember that it weighed a ton or two - either it had a dirty
great big PSU built in or my mind is off on a jaunt of its own again. Looked
absolutely brilliant, drool factor was very high.
