Rather than design and debug my own, I'd like to find a source of kits
or modules to convert between the 2m and 1296 MHz ham bands.  The
application is to build a repeater using an inexpensive 2m exciter and
receiver with the channel frequencies being in the 1282 (tx) and 1262
(rx) area.

I've got about 100 mw of 2m to upconvert; then I'll amplify it to the
proper output power.  The receiver is 2m also, and quite sensitive.

This is FM, so a linear mode isn't necessary.  The receiving converter
and transmitting converter would be best separate so I can operate them
simultaneously and shield them from each other.

Any suggestions as to suppliers, or experience with particular models
you've used?

Recommendations on a duplexer would also be appreciated.
