[Elecraft] Transverter question

[Edward R Cole]

Charlie,

Hopefully, you do not have any signal leakage at 27-MHz to create Rx problems.

I'm using a L222-28 DEMI transverter and tunes 222-225 for Rx with no 
issue.  All activity is centered on 223.50 calling frequency with 
exception of one repeater:  input is 223.34 and output is 224.94 so 
28-30 covers what I transmit since 224.94 is Rx.  I also can transmit 
222.100 CW/SSB but hardly any stations with other than FM up here.

I only use my transverter at low level output (5mw) to drive a 150w 
surplus amp (which was originally destined for the now defunct 220 
service).  My two ancient CC 220-11 yagis at 60-foot make working the 
stations in Anchorage 65+ miles north of me possible.  Most of them 
run 20w FM rigs with mere vertical whips.  Mostly there are four of 
us that have regular contacts: KL7XJ, KL6M, KL4E, and myself.  We use 
is as sort-of intercom for coordination of other bands.

Presence on 222 does add a band multiplier in VHF contests.

I changed the heterodyne crystal in my old
MicroWave Modules 220-28 to use 27 MHz as the low
end IF.  That way I can cover the whole 3 MHz of
the "new" 1?M band from 222 to 225 MHz.
