[TenTec] Transverter Kits

[Neal Campbell K3NC]

While low cost is always an option, if I am going to get into VHF/ 
UHF, I would prefer high performance with moderate cost. Is the  
Elecraft transverters high performance? I have always assumed that  
SSB was the best but they are much more expensive than the Elecraft  
ones.
