[Elecraft] [Moon-Net] Elecraft transverter

[Seb]

You should know that DEMI can install (and probably sell as a kit for you to install) the ApolLo synthesizer board inside of Elecraft transverters.  I asked Steve at DEMI some time ago if it would be possible, and he asked me to send him my XV222 transverter.  Within a few days, I received it back and is now connected and locked to my external 10 MHz reference source.

Mine was the guinea pig and Steve mentioned that he would document its installation.  Even with Elecraft’s TCXO, its frequency was not stable enough for meteor scatter use.
