Crossband to 28m (or so) ?

[CB590]

Has anyone thought about using a crossband radio such as the Kenwood TM-v71a and possibly taking the VHF side and using a 10m transverter on it.

Then effectively you could go from 70cm to 28 MHz (10m) ?

Station ID can be set in a menu for every 10 minutes per rule and also remote turnoff per rule with DTMF.

Thoughts?

I know a transverter is designed to convert 10m to 2m but I dont think it will do the same in reverse? I did put my TS 2000 in crossband repeat and used my ht to work from 440 fm to 10m ssb. Just wanted to see if it worked one day when the band was open. Worked New Jersey from my kitchen on the wouxun...

I think they do make one

The best way to do that is a remote base. https://www.repeater-builder.com/tech-info/pdfs/remote-base-alternative-to-repeaters.pdf

Transverters do indeed work both ways. They HAVE too. That is why they are made.....to convert one band to another. If you are using a 10m to 2m transverter for instance you TX 10m into it and it outputs 2m. The receiver in the transverter then takes the received 2m signal and converts it down to 10m which it then outputs it to the 10m radio. It is basically an up-converter AND a down converter in the same box.

may be 10m to 6m What would you use ??

The Ukrainian transverters work nicely

I have a Ten-Tec 1208 transverter around here somewhere. It converted 20m to 6m. I borrowed a transverter onetime that converted 10m to 2m but I forget the manufacturer.

Not 10M, but I have a TenTec transverter that converts 2M to 6M. I'm not using it since I have radios that do 6M.
