Interesting project. One thing seems a little odd. You use an attenuator to
reduce the level of the 28MHz signal as it would be too much for the
transverter to handle. You then say you then need to amplify the transverter
output because it only puts out 1mW but you wanted 100mW.
It makes me think you could simplify things if you used a different
transverter that would give you the higher output since you are only talking
100mW. It could let you eliminate the 28MHz attenuator, the 1mW to 100mw amp
after the transverter, or possibly both.
