[NLRS] 2m IF rigs for uW's

[Jon Platt via NLRS]

Finding low cost solutions for IF rigs to drive uW transverters is getting to be more of a problem.   The old 2m only multimode rigs are becoming harder to find as they slowly die off.  One possible solution is the MFJ (yes, MFJ) 9402.   Its a low cost ($310) 7 watt 2m SSB rig.  See http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-9402 .   Of course you get what you pay for but with a new FT817 going for about $670 it may be one solution, especially if you already have a good signal source for frequency calibration.
