Hi AMSATs,
Recently I was looking for some 23cm trx to use it for testing higher bands transponders. I can do 23cm on satellite band with a transverter to 2m, but this is very un-practical in mobile use... Another problem is that it has only 2MHz couverage, and I like something that can cover the whole 23cm band in all-modes.
I found several types from several brands, but all of them seem to be old and no more available. Because I am not into all those old/new types it takes me long time to find out what is a good choice and the same time available.
I prefer all-mode 23cm trx from ~1240...1300MHz. Size in the order of a mobile set, but no huge base-station as I need it for moving around. Output power in the order of 1W is enough (more is extra), as I have amplifiers available to gear this up. New or old is all welcome, my main interrest is good RF performance.
The best I found is IC-1275, but it is no more available and very rare to find (I read on internet)
