[Kenwood] 6 meter options

[Philip Neidlinger]

Hello again...

With the IC-756PRO gone from my shack, soon to be replaced with a
TS-940SAT, I now lack 6m capability. Note the following options to get
back on 6m.....

1. Get a TS-600. The radio appears to be a good rig, but have no idea of
its availability or reliability or performance.
2. Get a TS-60. Same points as Option No. 1.
3. Put a transverter for the 940. Real fuzzy here, as I have zip, zero,
nada experience with transverters and have no idea which one to get, or
how to even wire the sucker up to the 940. Usually they are less than
10w, and then one has to get a brick amp to put out a signal that has a
little "presence" on the band.
4. Get a NON-Kenwood dedicated 6 meter rig, such as a Ranger. Ouch.
Don't want to go there.

Any other suggestions would be welcomed. Note, I do not want to get
another HF rig with 6 meters tacked on as an afterthought. 

Tnx
