A transverter will work with any transmitter /
receiver combination or with any transceiver that
are/is operating in the correct i.f. frequency range.
You just have to make sure that the transmitter power
input does not exceed that required for the
transceiver.  Some of the older transverters had a
built-in attenuator and could actually take
transmitter inputs of up to at least 100 watts (i.e.
Hallicrafters HA-2 and HA-6).  Other transverters will
only take less than 1 watt and you have to do
something to lower the power from the exciter.

Many transverters have separate receive and transmit
lines and, if you are using a transceiver or some
other piece of equipment that has only one r.f.
connector you do have to install some type of
changeover relay.  Basically, this is the "opposite"
of a normal antenna change over relay.  Instead of the
antenna being on the output and the receive and
transmit being switched between it, the "antenna" of
the equipment is on the output and the transmit and
receive functions are switched.  The same type of
relay can be used for either.

I am not aware, nor can I imagine how, a 6 mtr
transverter could possibly function.
