No, he is right. The 1208 converts 14 MHz to 50 MHz and the 1209 converts
144 MHz to 50 MHz. For a while, Tentec marketed the 1220 2 meter
transceiver with the 1209, saying that this would get you 6 & 2. I agree on
the 1208, though. Still have it and it works FB.

Must be a typo. My 1208 converts 14 MHz (not 144) to 50 MHz. Works
great. I drive it with 5 watts from my Argo V and it puts out 8-9 watts on
6.

with
my Orion for a long time and it worked very well. Yes, just keep the
power
at 5 watts and all will work well. Be very careful to never accidentally
put more then 20 watts into it. If you do, you will blow a switching
diode
in the radio. I can tell you this from experience. And it is very easy
to
forget to reduce the power.
