Re: [TenTec] 1208 Transverter

[Steve Berg <wa9jml@tbc.net>]

I used one of these transverters with my Argonaut II, and managed to 
work all continents with it barefoot into a 4 element beam during the 
last F2 cycle.  I found that it worked extremely well, and is now 
helping a friend of mine enjoy 6 meters.  It gave me a whole lot less 
trouble than my so-called "higher end" transverter does.  They are 
touchy about overdrive as I found out when I tried to use it with my 
Omni V.9, which apparently has a strong RF spike when keyed, but it sure 
works well with a decent QRP rig like an Argonaut.  I don't see how you 
can beat one for the price.
