[Scan-DC] UHF Mil Question..

[dehm]

They say the only stupid question is a question that isn't asked...

Here goes..

Question 1:

  Is there any way for me to build a simple to moderately difficult
kit that will upconvert my VHF frequencies to UHF milband? OR, is it
more efficient/cost effective to  splurge on a UHF capable scanner as
I don't have a whole lot to spend. My feeling is the latter however I
would like to hear your input.

Question 2:

If I were to get a milcom capable scanner, what do you all recommend
as far as sensitivity and resistance to outside RFI etc etc.

I would also like to be able to receive APCO-25 as well living in DC
everything seems to be digital and such!


Thanks so much for your input in advance!!,

Jacob
