[Elecraft] Transverter & Satellite work questions?

Fri May 9 13:44:00 2003

Actually this would not be all that hard to knock up with an
microcontroller and a dual level converter (MAX232, etc).

If it is only a matter of having them track at the same rate say both
moving in tandem up or down in the band on inverse of each other.

The math gets a little harder if they need different tuning rates.

I'm not a Satellite operator so I'm not sure on the particular needs of
this.
