The lady of the house was kind enough to get me a kit for a 2M transverter this year for christmas. Now, for those of you who aren’t familiar with a transverter, it takes a low frequency signal (in this case 28MHz) and mixes it up to another higher frequency (in this case 144MHz). For me, this allows me to use my very nice FT-950 radio, on a frequency band it wasn’t originally designed for.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are some photos I took during assembly of the kit.<\/p>\n

Lifting off the heatsink reveals all the packaged components, ready to be assembled into a complete transverter.<\/p>\n

Here’s the front and rear panels. The rear one is shown above the front one.<\/p>\n

Here’s the inside of the transverter after fully assembling the circuit board, and attaching all the connections to the front and back panels.<\/p>\n
