[TenTec] Model 1208 Transverter

[N4PY2]

The 1209 converts 144 to 50 mhz.  You will enjoy the 1208.  I used one with 
my Orion for a long time and it worked very well.  Yes, just keep the power 
at 5 watts and all will work well.  Be very careful to never accidentally 
put more then 20 watts into it.  If you do, you will blow a switching diode 
in the radio.  I can tell you this from experience.  And it is very easy to 
forget to reduce the power.
