 Luckily there is a consumer device called the SUP2400 available in the USA which is used on cable networks to up convert UHF signals to L Band where they are then received on a standard satellite box.  They are available on ebay but only in the US.
-The SUP2400 was designed to be controlled by the STB using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSEqC Disecq commands] which the STB sent down the co-ax cable connecting the 2 units when frequency up conversion is required.  As we did not originally know the Disecq commands used M0DTS figured out a series of hardware modifications to force the SUP2400 to upconvert the incoming 70cms signal.  These hardware modification are described in [https://batc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/cq-tv239-small.pdf CQ-TV 239] and [[SUP2400 mods|available here]].
