Question
What device converts the RF input and output of a transceiver to another band?
Answer Options
- A) High-pass filter
- B) Low-pass filter
- C) Transverter
- D) Phase converter
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
A Transverter is an external device that shifts a transceiver’s operating frequency from one amateur band to another. It uses mixer circuits (T7A03) to convert the RF signal.
For example, an operator might use a 2-meter (144 MHz) transceiver as the base radio, and a transverter could shift the signal down to the 6-meter (50 MHz) band or up to the 23-centimeter (1.2 GHz) band. This allows operators to use a single HF or VHF radio for multiple frequency ranges by simply adding this accessory.
