I have 5 Demi transverters. four of them are driving my Lunar Links just
fine. I also have the Elecraft 432 and 2m transverters. The Elecraft 2m
puts out 25 watts on a good day and runs hot. The 432 Elecraft is not stable
enough for jt65b. I spent two months working on it with emails back and
forth to Elecraft. I replaced some componets in the oscillater section
supplied by Elecraft. Tuning the slug tuned coil for the sweetspot was
touchy then when I put the cover on it changed. I then drilled a hole in the
cover to solve that. I also put the tcxo and and additional fan externaly.
Problem not solved. The tech at Elecraft contacted the designer and related
I had gotten it as stable as it was going to get. Seems the problem is in
the design of that section and quality of componets. I am keeping bot
Elecraft units for backup in case one of my Demi units fail. They are
gathering a lot of dust. gl, paul, wa3qpx

I have both. Define "much better". They are both good
quality. The Elecraft is as expensive and a kit. It has
far more possibilities of IF power control from 1mw to 8
watts of drive. Auto band changing if you have a K3. I
could go on. The Demi is a good unit but locked in at one
drive level unless later modified. Neither receiver is
appreciably better than the other. The Demi has a heat
sink but it should cause it has 60 watts output. The
Elecraft has 20 watts and choice of oven temp osc. Mine
is as stable if not more than my Demi. I dismiss the
notion that an oven temp Elecraft drifts. I have two of
both and each fulfill their purpose beautifully.

Don?t forget the Elecraft line of transverters. They
have a little lower pwr output but just fine for running
solid state amps. I?ve had good experience with them and
run a
kw amp on 2M. They?re also good on FM if that?s you?re
cup of tea.
If you plan on getting involved in weak signal digital
work, be sure the transverter you decide on has good
freq. stability?..both the DEMI and Elecraft XVTR?s
qualify in that regard.
Good luck on your decision.

Not sure what DEMI unit you have but all 7 of mine are
fully adjustable on input and output . Sam kf4yox
