That is what I usually think also. I did put together their 6 to 20

transverter several years ago and it seemed to work fine for me. Receiver

using a Yaesu 757 lowband rig.
=================================
Question : Is the Ten-Tec 6m transverter also available for 28 MHz e.g.
RX : 50 -- 28 MHz ; TX : 28 --- 50 MHz
or can the 14 to 50 MHz transverter be readily modified for operation
from a 28 MHz base unit ?

Reason for the above question : I have an old (but almost unused) Yaesu
FT901DM HF transceiver with a FTV901R transverter with 2m and 70cms
modules but without a 6 m module.
The system works through the HF transceiver's 28 - 30 MHz band . In
Europe the 6m band is from 50 - 52 MHz.

TIA for any advice.

The Ten-Tec 20M--6M converter can be easily modified
to 10M--6M. I have done that and it works fine.
Essentially, you change the LO in the transverter
to 2 selectable LO's - one at 22 MHz, the second at 24
22 + 28 = 50; 22 + 29 = 51
24 + 28 = 52; 24 + 29 = 53

You need 2 xtals and a few components to change the
bandpass filter after the LO to 22-24 MHz
The xtals can be selected via relay or diode
switching. With a simple homebrew outboard filter,
the thing is pretty clean, according to a friend.
I never used the filter or put mine on a spectrum
analyzer, so the cleanness of the signal is hearsay.
