So will this now support same band RX2? Will there be any extended RX (and
possibly TX) range? This would be important for those of us driving
transverters with 144 or 432 IFs for the microwave bands. There are
situations where frequency allocations are not global (2.3 and 3.4GHz in
particular) which require wideband TX/RX or multiple LOs in the transverter
to cover all the possible splits for EME, not to mention yet another offset
for satellite work on all of the .
Will this option have its own dedicated RF connections (HUGE
plus)? Someone else mentioned 222. If 222 TXCV was available, even at the
milliwatt level, that would be a huge bonus! I would guess that since this
is no longer a transverter, that most of those options would be a matter of
programming.

Ray,
You are 100% correct. The upgrade that was initially slated as a
transverter was changed based on user input to a high power unit and is no
longer a transverter upgrade, but as you correctly stated, a VHF/UHF
expansion module.

And, while we are on the topic, people have been referring it as a
transverter. I believe I am correct in stating that it is not a
transverter, per se, but actually an expansion module to extend the
hardware to 144 MHz & 432 MHz. The difference being that a transverter
simply heterodynes (translates) the signals down to an RF IF frequency,
typically
28 MHz, where the normal radio hardware/software takes over. Whereas with
an expansion module, the 144 MHz & 432 MHz signal processing will use the
same direct-conversion techniques like the radio does on HF/6m.
