Articles. Interfacing Down East Microwave Inc. (DEMI) Transverters This document is provided to aid in the connection and operation of DEMI transverters with most of the transceivers available on the new and used market today. The guidelines here are by no means the absolute, but will determine how we will configure your transverter if purchased from us assembled or help you to decide what options you will need if you wish to purchase a kit. The maximum advantage of any DEM transverter is obtained by using the highest quality IF (Transceiver) available. But don't let this deter you from using a converted 11 meter transceiver for your IF. These have been employed quite successfully for contesting, Earth / Moon / Earth, Rag chewing, and simplex FM operation. We have a lot of experience in interfacing but we have not seen every type and model in the world.

What is a Transverter? A transverter is a receive converter and a transmit converter joined by a common local oscillator. Why use a Transverter? Icom IC-7300 Transceiver, Icom 7300 GigaParts.com. Amateur radio frequency allocations - Wikipedia. Amateur radio frequency allocation is done by national telecommunications authorities. Globally, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) oversees how much radio spectrum is set aside for amateur radio transmissions. Individual amateur stations are free to use any frequency within authorized frequency ranges; authorized bands may vary by the class of the station license. Radio amateurs use a variety of transmission modes, including Morse code, radioteletype, data, and voice.

Specific frequency allocations vary from country to country and between ITU regions as specified in the current ITU HF frequency allocations for amateur radio. National authorities regulate amateur usage of radio bands. Band characteristics[edit] Low frequency[edit] 2200 meters – 135.7–137.8 kHz – Very long antenna. Medium frequency[edit] High frequency[edit] 80 meters – 3.5–4.0 MHz (3500–4000 kHz) – Best at night, with significant daytime signal absorption.

Radio Spectrum Allocation | Federal Communications Commission.

The radio spectrum is the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the United States, regulatory responsibility for the radio spectrum is divided between the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The FCC, which is an independent regulatory agency, administers spectrum for non-Federal use (i.e., state, local government, commercial, private internal business, and personal use) and the NTIA, which is an operating unit of the Department of Commerce, administers spectrum for Federal use (e.g., use by the Army, the FAA, and the FBI). Within the FCC, the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) provides advice on technical and policy issues pertaining to spectrum allocation and use.
