1296MHz Transverter

The 23cm station is made to pick up quick for use as a portable station.
Did used the DB6NT transverter and home made FET P.A. to complete the transverter.
Output is 40W solid state.
A special regulator is made to tune the output level.

At the moment i'am bussy to get ready my new 1296MHz high power amplifier.



Insite the 1296MHz transverter

The transverter can be found down left on the picture right.
Power amplifier has a big cooling block outsite the cabinet.



Back site 1296MHz transverter

At the back site, all the connections can be found.
I did made a choise to use only 1 coax switch, mast head mounted.
So you can find a separate output and input for 1296MHz



23 and 13cm switch box

On the right you can find the 23cm and 13cm preamp switch box.
This box is mast head mounted, using separate TX and RX cables for each frequency band.
