yes,
it is basically a transverter. most transverters will only handle 5 watts, but
most only a few mW.
Think
of it as a mixer you inject your base Freq. say 144 mHz and mix it and double it
and you can get just about any of the mico wave bands. SSB electronics and
several others have these types of trans verters.

Another use that a friend of mine will use this new radio
for is a Microwave base reference frequency.
?
Apparently, they take a very small (in power) precise signal
and inject it into there homebrew multipliers and amplifiers and come out on
2.4 gig.
?
Not really too familiar with this application, but the small
power and stable frequency has them all very excited.

(Quite a few of these microwavers are using Icom 706 and
FT-100 radios, but they guys say they have way too much power for their
applications.)

Ok guys, my tongue was firmly planted in cheek on that
last email.
However, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get 7 watts
out of it
instead of 5. Big hootie power!!!!
Also, I'm sure someone
will ask "How can I hook the ft-817 up to a
linear?" :-)
I've got
4 months to save my pennies for this rig. I can't wait!
I wonder what the
price will be? The FT-100 is running under $1000 US.
It would have to be
cheaper, right?
