So I got my new tower up the past few weeks and finally my 10 GHz transverter on the mast.
This is a Kuhne G3 10 GHz unit, with the locked PLL, a Kuhne 0.7 dB preamp, 10W PA and built into a waterproof mast mounted box.
Down in the shack I have one of the Flex 6500's connected into the Kuhne TR144 transverter to take 144 from the 10g tvtr down to 28 MHz.
First run Sunday was a bit abortive due to some wrong IF gain settings
Today I reset them and once the tower was back up the ZL2VHX beacon was loud!
Not only that but a wave of weather moved through giving some rainscatter and enhancement on the sigs from the beacon which is some 370 Km away in Wellington.
Pretty cool for a Flex 6000 series and def a huge benefit with the pandapter :)


if you want to hear spread sigs on 10 GHz here u go :)
