TRANSVERTER

Trans (transceiver)
Verter (Converter)

If you have a transeiver that doesn't cover a desired band such as 2 meters,
you can use a transverter to convert it so it does.

Like a K3....It will not cover 2 meters so we use a transverter. This little
box will convert all the 2 meter signals to  a band that the K3 can cover
for example 10 meters. Also, this box can convert 10 transmit from the K3 to
2 meters.

So there you have it. A transverter allows you to use an HF rig on VHF.

To save bandwidth on here, Tony, please look at Wikipedia. There is a
simple explanation on there.

By the way, please give your callsign, Tony, to comply with the
reflector rules.

Hi Tony,

You are completely correct. Wayne and Eric are the moderators and they have frequently pointed out that only they may assume the moderator role.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with your original inquiry.

Hi Tony,

Your inquiry was perfectly OK. Please feel free to ask -any- technical
question.

To be honest, the only stupid questions are the ones not asked. :-)

But...how can you tell they are stupid if they are unasked?

And what about the above question? It is both stupid and asked!
