Help with hardware

Hello All,

I am a beginner and need some help with hardware to send and receive from QO-100 without a PC.

I have done some test with Windows - SDRAngel - Lime SDR Mini - CN0417 Amp and a WLAN Booster AB003

On Rx I have a LNB converting to 739 mHz to the Rx side on the Lime SDR Mini

I use a Helix antenn to transmit.

It seems to work good and I also sent some mail to Winlink via IS0GRB.

Now to my question:

I plan to use a Yaesu FT-857D or a Icom IC-705 for send and receive.

To my understanding a have to use a transverter to convert 432 mHz to 2400 mHz on Tx

and 10489 mHz to 432 mHz on the receive side. But I can't found a suitable transverter.

Most off the example i found use the tranverter as a Upconverter to transmit and some WebSDR to receive.

I will just use ONE radio both for Tx and Rx

Have I missed something?

Thanks for the info/link.

So the answer to my question is, I have to use two radios or a duo band tranceivers and an Up and a Down converter.

And there are no transverter to handle both TX and RX to a single band tranceiver

Right?

Thanks for your info, I understand the fun to listen to my own uplink of course.

But I have some ideas to set up i Winlink client in my boat, some portable station.

For that reason i don't want to have so many radios etc.

Do you have some links to any transverters i can look in to?

Maybe it can be a problem with one simplex radio to adjust the frequencies on Rx and Tx.

But I will give it a try if I can find a good transverter

I understand, used wrong word!
