A Google search shows one commercial decoder:
    http://www.kuhne-electronic.de/en/products/transverter/tr-6-sw.html
It looks like it might be usable with generic transverters.

There is also one home brew design that does not use PICs, etc.:

In addition, band decoders from Elecraft (KRC-2 - using Aux bus) and
microHAM (Station Master - using CAT data) will decode the transverter
bands but will require additional relay switching to select IF (In/Out)
and route PTT to the respective transverters.
