[DSP-10] Transverters with DSP-10

[ww2r at mgef.org]

I used to use the DB6NT xverter for 1296 with my dsp10 (which was locked
to GPS). It was OK for ssb/cw/fm but was not stable enough for WSJT modes,
i had to build an external oscillator for it. The same is true of my db6nt
10g xverters, an experience shared with many in europe who use external 
oscillators such as the G8ACE one http://www.microwaves.mcmail.com/
