Hi Holger!

    HG>> Or just build a simple downconverter. In that case you must of   
    HG>> course be able to know how to use a soldering iron.   
    RM>> You can make or buy an upconverter.   
    HG> WHY would I make/buy an upconverter for a stick that already covers   
    HG> 25 - 1300 MHz.   
      
   See http://bit.ly/2ctd5lz   
   An Upconverter is needed to convert a lower frequency signal to a higher   
   frequency signal.   
      
   See also the descritpion for the Ham-it-up upconverter:   
   http://www.nooelec.com/store/ham-it-up.html   
      
    HG> A downconverter is however needed if you want listen to frequencies   
    HG> below 25 MHz.   
      
   It seems that the convention is the other way around.   
   If you convert a lower frequency signal to a higher frequency signal, that is   
   called upconversion.   
      
   Like for example converting 7 MHz to 132 MHz (like in the case of the Ham it   
   up upconverter)   
      
    RM>> I think this is a good thing, do you disagree Holger?   
    HG> See above.   
      
   Thank you for your invaluable input, as usual!
