[600MRG] Q: HF to MF transverter ?

[J Mcvey]

I'm building the Dongle SDR radio that was in QST a few issues ago. It's "down converted" to go all the way to 1KHZ. I'll let you know how it works out.I was impressed with my preliminary testing of the native frequencies (10 meters +) . The antenna that comes with it is useless, so cut it off and interface it with an appropriate antenna for the band of interest.  I have also found other free SDR software that I like better than SDRsharp.
I was thinking of a quick CW TX setup consisting of  a DCO driving one of those broadband LDMOS power amps. I may be able to synchronize the RX and TX via some minor software mods.

 With the (hopefully) soon access to the 630m band I am thinking it would be nice to seea simple *transverter* kit (as opposed to a transmitting converter using "split" mode on the HF radio). It would be easier to make cw contacts if the kit would be able to change TX frequency to track with the RX frequency while surfing the band. 
I wonder if any Ham Radio manufacturers will be offering any *out-of-the-box* transverters. 
The only transverters that I have been able to google are for VHF and up. 
Jus' thinkin' ahead.....
