[VHFcontesting] VHF/UHF Panadapting

[arsn4dd at charter.net]

Good Evening Folks,
i am interested in running a panadapter on the VHF/UHF frequencies.
Mostly for casual use, but also for casual contesting. I own a
FT-736R, and that appears to make IF panadapting a bit out of reach.
Do any of the seasoned veterans have a suggestion for incorporating a
freestanding VHF/UHF panadapter into a casual contesting environment?
Feel free to email me directly in order to reduce reflector bandwidth,
and thanks in advance for any and all suggestions short of purchasing
a new $3K radio.
Very Best Regards,
Dennis N4DD
