[Elecraft] KAT2 and K60XV interaction

[Don Brown]

Hi

I have a split K2/KPA100/KAt100 that I have been installing the 60 =
meter/transverter interface. Every thing seems to work except when I =
connect the KAT2. I am setting up the transverter interface for a 1.00 =
mw max output as described in the manual. If the KAT2 is disconnected =
then everything works per the manual. When the KAT2 is connected the =
output level indicated on the K2 display will only go up to .6 mw. =
Looking at the KAT2 it appears the SWR bridge circuit is loading the =
VRFDET line. I have another K2/100 that I am building for sale, also =
with the K60XV installed. When connecting the KAT2 to this radio I have =
the same problem so the problem is in the KAT2. I am tempted to increase =
the value of R6 on the KAT2 but would like some direction from Elecraft =
This KAT2 works otherwise and I upgraded the firmware to the latest =
version but this had no change on the problem. Is anyone out there using =
the transverter interface and the KAT2 in their K2 and noticed this =
problem?
