[TenTec] Model 1208 Transverter

[Bwana Bob]

I wish I had bought one of the ten meter to two meter transverters. It 
would have been the perfect mate for my Radio Shack HTX-100 10 meter 
SSB/CW transceiver, which never gets any use these days.

I understand that Ten Tec discontinued the transceivers due to parts 
availability problems.

The "Microwave Modules" line was also nice. I have one of their 2 m 
converters.
