• Upconverter assembly in Tx converts 1.5-2.5 GHz IF up to your desired RF frequency
• Computer-stabilized or phase-locked microwave oscillators
• DC power supplies
• Dish Antenna assemblies with 38 dBi minimum gain and a 1.5 degree beamwidth
• Telescopes in Tx and Rx, and power meter in Rx facilitate alignment
• 48" stainless steel tripod with pan/tilt mechanism for mounting
