I'm not aware of DEMI having on that is actually being sold yet, and at 
1 watt I'm not quite sure what their intended market is. I do know I'm 
not it. :-)

Q5 Signal does have 25W and 50W 5 band transverters. I seriously 
considered that route to save space and it would be like getting one 
band for free. What convinced me not to is that there is only one 
power/drive level adjustment that affects all bands. That would create 
too much hassle messing with attenuators to get the right drive level 
for amplifiers on the different bands. I'm sure it is a wonderful option 
for some who don't have that problem or don't mind the expense and time 
dealing with it.
