Allison,

I have heard good things about the Ten Tec Transverter and figured it
was time to give it a try. I am a RTTY Junkie and noticed a six meter
RTTY spot yesterday. The 1208 should be here on Tuesday.

The TT I had had a very hot receiver. I had the marage amplifier with the
gasfet preamp and when I turned on the preamp I could not tell any
differance in the weak signals. The S-meter came up but the noise came up
with the signal. I could get the same effect in the audio just by turning
up the volume on the receiver.
On transmitt, 10 watts or so is still 10 watts. Just a little too low for
me on 6 meters. With many of the newer rigs having 100 watts on 6 I think
that is the power level to shoot for.

For what is it , the transverter does a very fine job.
