Does it have the downconverter built in?  If so, I will make it work. LOL

Has anyone tried one of the itfs mmds downconverters like this
ne on ebay:

ttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110523087399&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
for ao-51 s band downlink? 75 ohm out and looks cheesey but
ess than $30 shipped. it's cheap enough for me to play so I
ought one to experiment with, maybe just to remove the
ownconverter. I would welcome stories of your experience or
ust advice.

ohn, kn4ge
