I believe I was told also. That the transverter's where no longer made .
Becouse of part prices. Some of the transisters went up so high.
This was what I was told. I would hope some time TT. Gets away around this.
I am broker than broke right now. (medical bills and 4 young Kids more
importain than radio :-( ..) But I would like to have a 2 meter and 6 meter
transverter. At some point to run behind my Pegasus.
As fair as 220 goes. I have to say I am one of those. That has never used
it. And if I had the money for new radio's right now. It would not be a
220..
