Tom,

My background is physics, not rf theory. But you're saying that the xv144
gives you better performance than a rig that was designed for that?  I guess
thats not too hard to believe, but still counterintuitive from my
standpoint.  Do you think I would get acceptable results from adding a texas
microwave (or any brand) on top of the xv144 for 1.2 (or is it 1.4) ghz
operation? My main interest in this area are the amsats but I've only
managed a few sketchy qso's with a handheld before. Using transverters is
uncharted waters for me.  The only reason I'm considering one now is that 1.
elecraft makes them and 2. a lot of folks seem to use them... so they cant
be that bad right? I'm just skeptical of the added noise you introduce into
the system with using them.  Again though, I have no practical experience.
