I was wanting to listen to VHF/UHF SSB. All of my present UHF/VHF radios
are FM. I was thinking of rigging up a simple downconverter using a mini
circuit mixer and my HP signal generator as the local oscilator that I
can connect in front of my HF rig. I have an antenna mounted pre- amp
that I think should suffice for my front end. Any foreseeable problems
short of keying my transmitter while it is connected.

Do let us know what you tried, and how it worked.

OK where can you get a TUF-1


Jimmie


Direct from Mini Circuitshttp://www.minicircuits.com/cgi-bin/modelsearch?model=TUF-1%2B&search...
or Downeast Microwave in the "components" sectionhttp://www.downeastmicrowave.com/cat-frame.htm

Minicircuits is $7.50 each, Downeast is $18 each. *I assume both will
have a shipping charge.

Thanks I was under the impression the minicircuits has a minimum
order.
