I was referring to the 1209, not the 1208. The 1209 is a 6 meter
transverter that converts 50 mhz to 144 so you can use a 2 meter radio and
get 6 meters. I never had a 1209, just a 1208. And of course the 1208
converts 50 mhz to 14 mhz. The question was what is difference between the
1208 and 1209.
