Sure, I forgot that Elecraft included 10-MHz and 7-MHz as transverter 
IF bands in a recent firmware upgrade, so TEST mode is not needed 
(though it would also work-TEST mode is variable 0.1-1.5mw).  I used 
TEST mode directly on 495-510 as the radio will tune down to 490-KHz 
(but not lower).

10-MHz is perfect for use as one can use a high stability 10-MHz OCXO 
as LO.  Something I already have.

I have a transverter design in mind that will provide up to 25w.  But 
with 1mw output it could just drive my NDB 100w transmitter.  Just 
money and time to make the transverter are needed.  Too many irons in the fire!
