We're sensitive on the AMSAT-BB, aren't we? ;)
Goes to show it can be done. Roger I think said something about a downconverter, I do have an old 10-meter maybe that will work. Still would like to make a 2-meter and a 70cm SSB radio probly have to be two kits.
I'd *love* to see a kit, something suitable for beginners (and more of an assembly of large parts and not so much soldering) such as the Elecrafts for HF — but for a small SSB rig suitable for full-duplex satellite use on VHF and UHF. It still amazes me that the IC-W32A is the only recent crossband HT like that.
So get to designing! Maybe if you reached out to the Elecraft folk they'd give you some ideas.
