Thank you for the help on the transverters.  This evening I removed the AB switch and made up connectors with RCA's coming off of the 60 meter module option and BNC on the other end for the Transverters..... but now I have a problem with incoming audio.  Yesterday, using the AB switch,  the incoming signal volume worked fine and now there is hardly and audible signal and no reading or just barely an S1 bar on incoming signals.  

So maybe I jumpered something wrong or I used the wrong connection diagram or maybe I did not properly tune the 60 meter upgrade module when I put it in..... 

Can any of you offer some insight into where I might start my troubleshooting on this....

FYI :

I am using the diagram on page 66 of the transverter manual and I used the jumper setting for -20 dBm(.01) to 0 dBm(1 mW) which is listed as the following connections:

JP1:  1-2
JP2:  2-3
JP3:  1-2
JP4:  1-2
JP5:  2-3
JP6   2-3

This XV144 is deaf as can be now.. and it was not with the High RF output and an AB switch.  So I have missed something somewhere!  XV 50 is low audio too.


By the way - How do you get those BNC  T-connectors to fit back there.  I had to use them in the vertical positon and then set the transverters on a book so they did not bend the wires coming out of the bottom of the T-connector when hooked up to the transverters.  Are you using a special BNC designed T connector that fits back there?  

Thanks
