[Elecraft] K2 & 6m transverters

[Charles Greene]

Trevor,

I am using the Ten-Tec 20 to 6 transverter.  It does a good job at 6-7 
watts. It will tune the whole band with the K2, but it's aligned for the 
low end and performance falls off above 50.4.  That is really adequate as 
the K2 doesn't do FM.  Ten-Tec also has one that goes from 10 to 6.
