Using the 1208 transverter takes a lot less engineering. The low IF of
the Scout could make keeping down mixer products a significant pain.
There's no need for extended coverage on 6m, like Shawn says, 50 to 50.3
is plenty coverage. Most activity will be between 50.125 and 50.2 one a
really busy day.
Since the required band coverage is less than the VFO range, it might be
possible to shift the range a little to move birdies out of the working
range or to move the injection signal a little further from the band to
reduce mixer unwanted products a little.
