Hi Chris

 

TY for the reply.

Yes, I remember those … and I believe there was also an SSB Electronics version.

Hard to find now.

It would seem that some might want a 144 to 50 transverter so that one

doesn't need a second radio for 6m in VHF contests.

 

Any solutions?

 

Kevin,

 

It's been long discontinued, but there used to be an off-the-shelf solution to 
what you're looking for:  the Ten-Tec 1209 2m-to-6m transverter.

 

I see the Ten-Tec 1208 20-to-6m and 1210 10m-to-2m transverters for sale fairly 
often at hamfests, but unfortunately, the 1209 is harder to find since it is 
somewhat of an unusual application.  It may still pay to be on the lookout on 
the various swap sites, etc.  There is one on eBay right now for $199 USD, but 
that's significantly more than they were new!

 

73,

 

--Chris, NV4B
