[VHFcontesting] 902/3 newbe questions #3-#5

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     With regards to #3, the ability to display the transverter frequency 
rather than the IF frequency, is a radio-specific feature.  Some support
it, some do not.  I took a quick glance through the IC-756 PRO user manual
(http://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/Default.aspx?Category=25) and 
it does not appear that the radio supports it.  So, you will see a 28 MHz
frequency on the radio display.

    On the Kenwood TS-850, though, you can set the display to a 50, 144,
or 432 MHz frequency, using a 28MHz IF only, but not the other VHF/UHF bands.
The Elecraft K3 is especially configurable, allowing up to 9 user-defined 
bands for operation above 50 MHz that can use any K3 band for the IF 
frequency (28, 14, 7 MHz, whatever), each with their own power settings, 
and display any frequency you want (222, 902, 903, etc.) on the display.
