[Elecraft] UT5JCW 144MHz Transverter

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I had one of the 2 meter ones they were selling a couple of years ago (I used it with a different radio)

It took some effort to get it to work with a 1mw input (but it looks like they have that corrected in the new version).

It actually worked well, I did make a pseudo crystal oven for it my soldering a thermistor to the top of the xtal and running the thermistorfrom an 8v (poss 9v) voltage regulator. I then put some a layer of Styrofoam around the Crystal and  thermistor (above and below the board). 
I enclosed it all in a small aluminum box that doubled as the heatsink.

I sold it and the guy who I sold it to told me it worked as good as his Downeast Microwave Transverter, but I had no way of comparing so I'm taking his word at it.

That being Said I have the Internal Two meter Transverter in my K3 and while it does cost a little more It did make for a cleaner install plus you can add the ref-lock board to lock it to the main oscillator.

Hope that helps

who has a 144 MHz transverter from ut5jcw connected to the K3 and can 
tell me his experiences?
Would I be happy if I could get an indication about the wiring between 
K3 and the transverter.
