[VHFcontesting] 10gig white box

[Steven M. Simons]

To the list;

 

K1PHG and I are embarking on a project to convert MA/Com 10G white boxes. At
this time, we have 3 un-converted units and dish antennas (purchased from
WA3ZKR).

 

Before we proceed, both of us are wondering if this is now a worthwhile
project - i.e., is it better to move to DEMI type kits, etc.?

 

Does anyone have spare crystals available to put the IF of these units on
146 MHz ? (away from the low end of 2m)

 

Does anyone have any converted units and / or components for sale ?

 

Additionally, in the test equipment department, I own an HP 8551B and 141T
spectrum analyzers - what additional hardware is needed to be able to see
the 10GHz signals?

 

What about a weak signal source for RX testing? 

 

Thanks for the input,

 

Steve W1SMS and Pete K1PHG
