[Elecraft] 6m transverters

[Charles Greene]

Hi Jeff, Eric and All,

I use the Ten-Tec 20 to 6 transverter with my K2.  It works ok, but there 
is some 20 meter feed through, particularly when the 20 meter band is 
active.  I also have Down East 10 to 430 transverter which is a whole step 
up in quality, not only for the Ten-Tec which is average, but for most 
other UHF equipment.
