I have to agree with Les' assessment, especially when one looks at the 
cost of adding the 1.2GHz module to a TS2000 either by purchasing a 
TS2000X or by adding it later, then comparing it to the cost of a DEMI 
220MHz transverter.  We're talking over $700 for the one and around $300 
for the other.
