The Hilberling UDL-16 is a high-quality up/downlink transverter designed for satellite communication with the Hilberling PT-8000A, supporting operation via the QO-100 / P4-A Narrowband Transponder.
Built for serious satellite operators, the UDL-16 supports SSB, CW, and data operation, with compatible transceiver bands covering 6m, 2m, 70cm, and 23cm. It provides 16 band combinations, including 4 simplex and 12 duplex configurations via separate RX output, giving operators a flexible solution for QO-100 station integration.
With an IP67 protection rating, the UDL-16 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. It includes a GPS-supported OCXO reference, with a 10MHz REF OUT available for transceiver synchronisation.
