@bandopening Thanks for your reply. I am now using a Trimble GPS disciplined oscillator at 10MHz that is fed to a home-brew synthesizer to generate 106.5MHz which is fed into the Kuhne transverter. Works great, and very stable. The only drift now is the FT290R IF rig. 73 - Rob VK2GOM

I have changed my VFO to a system that uses a N5ACX "Apollo synthesizer. I used a rubidium 10 MHz oscillator or an ovenized 10 MHz oscillator as the reference and the Apollo synthesizer produces the required local oscillator for the transverter. Overnight I went from unstable, wandering to dead on frequency to within a hertz at 10 GHz! Why.... because I could!! The rubidium is an overkill, but it only cost about $70. It works sooooo well.
Google N5AC for more info. 73 Ron K7RJ

Nice video, just wondering what handheld radio that was.

10 ГГц - это сильно .

An interesting video. I have never ventured above UHF despite having a licence since 1991. Maybe Its time to have a go.

Pretty cool! 10GHz would be kind of useless around here. The multipath would be AWFUL because we've got a lot of reflective surfaces.

This is very nice. I have thought of this type of operation. I got tired of "5/9 QRZ", then I went to building QRP rigs, then I got transferred. My radios have sat in storage for the past three years. This video is great. Thank you.

Just got my Kuhne kit for 10GHz up and running. Next step is definitely a PLL 106.5MHz oscillator... the kit drifts bad due to all the multiplication to 10224 from 106.5. Other than that, it works well. 73 - Rob VK2GOM

Really nice video. I am enjoyed UHV/SHF bands too. Great.... Thanks

Well done..

What radio are you using for microwave.

I use mostly all Kuhne Electronics stuff, it's more expensive but much higher quality which helps a lot at these higher frequencies e.g. stability. I have their 10GHZ and 24GHZ transverters, 24 GHZ beacon, and external Oscillator w/10GHZ external reference for 24GHZ. I drive this using an Icom-706 MKIIG feeding a 17dbi Horn into an old Satellite TV Dish.
