Built by David Millard M0GHZ, it comprises an SG Lab 3.4GHz – 432MHz transverter and a 15W Ionica PA in a weatherproof diecast box with a 10MHz OCXO. All transmit / receive switching is provided in the box, controlled by the external transceiver PTT.

It is supplied with a patch panel antenna with a gain of 23dBi connected by an N-Type to N-Type LDF 2-50 patch lead. The user could alternatively supply and use a dish with a suitable feed. The transverter box and patch antenna have clamps to mount to a 2” pole.

The transverter requires a nominal drive of 1W. Great care must be taken not to exceed the drive level.
