Hi Brad,
I bought and built the Tentec 20M to 6M transverter kit. The kit is well
constructed and has good documents. I believe the 2M to 6M should be
just as easy to build. I am using it with my OMNI-VI, you have to be
able to cut back the tranceiver power to 5 Watts or less. I have used
the unit in a serious Multi/Multi contest effort in this past years June
and September VHF QSO parties. It performed well but could use a higher
level mixer for better dynamic range.
