[VHFcontesting] 222 and 902 equipment

[N6FD]

Downeast Microwave (DEM) has excellent transverters for both bands.  I 
have used the 222-28 and 902-144 transverters for many years.  They have 
survived several overloads when I forgot to set the power on IF rig.  
They have also performed very well at dense mountain top RF sites.  DEM 
also has excellent service.  You should have some RF assembly experience 
before assembling their kits, they have mostly surface mount 
components.  Also if you are in Caliifornia  make sure that you get the 
902 MHz crystal and not the 903 MHz crystal with your transverter.
