Norm,
You could start with the 5.1 GHz DRO in an old C Band LNB for the LO. Add an
LNA IC, and Mixer. Use the IF section in the C Band LNB to cover cable loss.

Hi all!
What schemes are available for someone who only has a funcube dongle?
It tops out at 1700 MHz. I am thinking hetrodyining using a brick and
a double balanced mixer. Block down converter is another option.
Any other options on the cheep side?

Art,
How do I recognize the Dielectric Resonance Oscillator? Where might I
get one of these units? Where, how and with what do I plumb the rf
with?
Suggestion on parts re the lna ic and I assume a mixer ic?
Wonder about the limit of dead bug construction at GHz? What methods
might one use? I assume microstripline transmission lines..
No trips to AES, HRO or Skycraft here..

Hi Norm, N3YFK
You need the book " The ARRL UHF/MICROWAVE
Experimenters Manual
ARRL Order No 3126 and ISBN 0-87259-312-6
And also:
The ARRL UHF/Microwave Project Manual
ARRL Order No 4491 and ISBN 0-87259-449-1
The latter contains the contruction of :
"A Single-Board, No-Tune Transverter for 5760 MHz"
The article written by Rick Campbell, KK7B contains all
PCB plains and a list of material needed for it.
I hope this helps

Dear Kevin,
We plan to flash the LEDs on Christmas Eve.
So we will start testing around the end of this month.
