And regarding the Elecraft Transverters; they are very much like a Heath Kit
building experience. Step by step. It is difficult to mess one of these up
if you follow the instructions.
For a more challenging kit building experience choose the DEMI product.
Still a good product and instructions that a moderately experienced builder
will have success with.
DB6NT assumes that you are a very experienced kit builder and is not a user
friendly experience to those that aren't.

If you are buying assembled units, call way in advance (6 months) before you
want it. I know of people waiting over a year for assembled product. Not
typical but a surprise when it happens.

I agree with Dave, DB6NT transverters are hard to beat performance wise.

Regarding which transverters are the "best"....... DEM certainly has a great
product I've built a couple 902 Mhz transverters. I've also owned DB6NT's
transverters for the microwave bands... expensive but hard to beat. One
company has not been mentioned here is Elecraft. I've built all 4 models....
50, 144, 222, and 432 MHz. They all work great and have the ability to be
jumped for any configuration. I really like the Elecraft transverters.

Just my thoughts,
