'old' 24 GHz transceiver project

[Rod Johnson]

Thanks for the help from everyone this morning.

  With input from many, I have a pretty good block diagram of the derelict transverter assembly, found in Mike's garage.  'We' determined it is for 24 GHz.

  It uses a DB6NT 24 GHz transverter module and a MM-Tech amplifier.

 A pair of relays switch the pre-amp and power amp and the various filters from transmit to receive paths.

  When looking for more information on the 24 GHz DB6NT unit, I  found this wonderful KM0T link about the amplifier module used.  There is also a lot more information, but this piece is a real gem.  It turns out to be a 2 watt amp, if set up properly.   2 watts on 24 GHz from a 'pile of junk' in Mikes garage... Yowza!
