Hi to the forum
I am looking at purchasing a 1296MHz transverter to operate on that band, I have a Icom 7000 and 7100 radios that I have had for some time and used as both base and mobile with no problems. The transverter requires a 144MHz if and the Icom radios will accommodate that requirement
These radio have been used without a linear, and I have herd about the Icom overshoot issue but to be honest never worried about it.
My question is, will this be a potential problem when using these radios with a transverter? I can wind the power right down but the transverter will only accept a maximum of 2 watts.
I am after opinions as I dont want to over drive the transverter and damage it, I would be operating both fm and ssb.
Thanks in advance
