Are there any opinions on the new multiband transverter that Down East was 
selling. Not sure who makes them? Mike

I'm not aware of DEMI having on that is actually being sold yet, and at 1 watt I'm not quite sure what their intended market is. I do know I'm not it. :-)

Q5 Signal does have 25W and 50W 5 band transverters. I seriously considered that route to save space and it would be like getting one band for free. What convinced me not to is that there is only one power/drive level adjustment that affects all bands. That would create too much hassle messing with attenuators to get the right drive level for amplifiers on the different bands. I'm sure it is a wonderful option for some who don't have that problem or don't mind the expense and time dealing with it.
