[Milsurplus] The Zero meter band

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Greetings All,
 Following this topic has been fun. 
 I work for a small company that builds Frequency and Pulse counters,VXI synthesizers and downconverters,and now PXI products that mirror the VXI product line.
 In the counter line and the VXI line we have modules actually named "Band Zero". The reason being that after the initial designs were introduced that started at 2 GHz with modules named Band One, Two, etc., , they added down converters to add 10 MHz to 2GHz. What do you call a module below Band One? Well, Band Zero of course!
 Not an April 1 joke! We take 6.31 to 8.3 GHz and mix it with a fixed 6.3 GHz LO and voila! 10MHz to 2GHz output!
 Have fun,
               Jay KE6PPF

?Antonio....
ell, let us see what you have got, instead of just trying to "poo-poo" this 
ne.
Actually, I thought it was pretty funny.  Sadly, I've already gotten two 
eplies, from the "newer class" of hams, that took it seriously.
lso, it seems that crystals, are now totally alien objects and the art of 
grinding" crystals to QSY up the band is a mostly forgotten art :o))
