[NLRS] MKU10G2 kit

[Jevon (Jon) Lieberg]

Jon;

I believe that Marc Holdwick,  N8KWX (csvhfs VP ) built one a couple of
years ago. He had it Aurora last year.

If you are thinking of building, you might consider The Qualcom kit from
Chuck Houghton, WB6IGP. I ordered one and intend to build it this winter.
Cost is about $165 with 1 watt amp. See included note from Chuck with
prices.

As for test equipment needed, I am sure that I or someone else in NLRS could
assist in the tune up and provide needed test equipment.

If there is interest in the Qualcom kit,  I would be willing to bring the
parts and instructions to the breakfest on Saturday.

Chucks note follows.

Jon: I should put together a fact sheet vs. type one out all the time. Jon
we
have a 10 Ghz transverter called the lamb chop board includes synth and all
if, rf, boards in single package puts out about 10 Mw to drive a 1 watt amp.
requires a IF board and 10 Mhz tcxo for external material to power up unit.
Cost of transverter is $100 with If board. Tcxo is 10 Mhz and high accuracy
cost with kit is $10. 1 watt amp is $55 and comes with heat sink cut out of
much larger unit.  Do have sepp synths and multipliers for 10224 Mhz Lo cost
of synth is $35, TCXO $15, and Mult board $20 (package deal $70 Postpaid).
Material is all plus postage of $5 aprox for pack and post, or slightly less
depending on what weight material ordered is. Do have material for 1296 mhz
in
Synths and TCXO plus 1 watt amps and 5 to near 10 W amps for $20 each. Most
all material is posted on web site http://www.ham-radio.com/sbms/sd/ and
look
under tech papers from the SDMG for photos and conversion data and
write-ups.
Have more data but unsure what approach your are considering to build need
synths parts or complete package. Look on web site for best answers for your
use than get back to me for any questions.  Chuck WB6IGP
