    Ten Tec 6'n2 comes to mind. But, they are discontinued and expensive used. You might want to get a couple of Ten Tec transverters (discontinued, used) and put a small amp on the 8 watts or so that they put out. About $125 each, so maybe $250?

    I don't think you are going to find an inexpensive 6 and 2 meter only rig. Hell, if they existed, I'd have one.

    Seriously, the transverters work quite well, I have three of them. Models exist to go from 20m or 10m to either 6m or 2m. One of the units I have goes from 2m to 6m, I'm not sure if they made one to go from 6m to 2m.

    Gidday again...Thanks for the answers to my inquiry...It looks as though I am looking for the impissable, Ha..

    910H radios are like gold here also and one would cost me the price of one of my amplifiers...Transverters are too messy and would take up space on my workbench...

    I am now considering building up a 2 and 6 meter amplifier to go on the end of both my 10 watt rigs...These would be simple affairs probably using 100 watt power transistors with a variable output...As I only use carrier for tuning amps it only needs to be simple...I will scrounge through my junk box and see what I can find....
