[50mhz] Re: [VHF] transverter Jack on the Yaesu MK V

[w2drz]

Hi ED,

The transverter output of the MK V for tx is about -10 dbm.

For most transverters need a small mimic amp to bring the level up to 0
dbm or so..

As this is the normal input (0 dbm) to a mixer in most use, there can
not be any attenuation between the mixer and the source.

you will find the problem is rf level too low to the transverter out of
the MK V..

Just normal for the MK V transverter TX port..........
