These are very cool! Now if we could only convince them to build some 432 / 902 
/ 1.2Ghz modules! Dreaming at work again.... Scott - KI5DR

So, we probably won't hear any of these on the air in the June contest,
but maybe in the September contest. The Elecraft transverter kits are 
$100 more than Downeast Microwave's kits, but have more features, including
built-in wattmeters, keying sequencers, input attenuators, and "Multiple 
transverters can be easily daisy chained to a single IF transceiver, 
providing multiband operation without cable rearrangement." They also 
use a substantially better DC power connector than DEMI uses.
