Hi John, I use that Jackson Harbor receive converter in my 2200m thru 600m transverter. It has worked very well for many years. The buffer amp is not needed for those bands as there is plenty of received signal using a resonant antenna down there. hi hi...Lots of signal...I did have to add in back to back 1N4148 diodes on the input of the mixer so it doesn't get clobbered if I mess up with the T/R switch. I also use a 7 pole LP filter tuned for 520kc in place of the original LP filter.
