[ICOM] Interesting new transverter

[Barry Williams]

On the order form you specify the IF frequency as 50 to 54 MHz.  I think the cost for the custom IF is $35.  I wondered with the major high end rigs covering 6 meters, why none were available for that IF, I contacted Q5 and he said he would give it a try.  So it is now a tested product.
