[TenTec] 1208 Transverter

[JD & KK McCrary]

I have not seen a $100, 2 meter radio that works CW, AM, SSB and FM on 6
meters yet.

done with it ?

Again, I want to thank everyone for their input. I learned a lot, and I am 
sure that anyone else lurking in the backround has too.

This is what I plan to do. I will unsolder the two diodes, and solder in 
segments cut from a DIP socket. The kind with the nice round machined pins. 
I will then have sockets so I will never need to work on the board with a 
soldering iron again. This will allow me to try different diodes as plugins.

If I should fry some, all, I will need to do is remove the cover, and plug 
in two more.

I could tape a small plastic bag with replacements inside the cover.

Any comments?
