[Elecraft] Re: Transverters

[Paul]

Don - Martin and the reflector members,

I "do not" have the internal tuner.  I "do have" the 100 watt option and
there is the 160 meter option installed.

Hopefully,  I would like to get the method suggested by Elecraft in the
publication to work correctly.

Any ideas or suggestions as to why the reduction in the audio level?  What
may have to be changed and where do I begin my pursuit to correct it?

Thanks
Paul

Hi

According to Elecraft this is NOT a good way to connect the transverters.
The isolation in the KAT2 is not good enough and you will most likely be
transmitting a small amount of 10 meter RF into your HF antenna system when
using the transverter unless you disconnect the HF antenna. I tried this
hook up at first and abandoned it after the information came out from
Elecraft to not use it. The low level IF I/O on the KX60M is a much better
way to connect the transverters.

  If you have the internal antenna tuner installed in your K2, here is a
  different approach to hook up a transverter:

  Use ANT 2 for the Transverters IN/OUT and set the maximum power to the
  required level in the menu.

  If your transverter has split connections for Input/Output, you need
  the 160m/RX-Ant option.

  In this case, use ANT 2 to drive the transverter and RX-Ant for the
  RX-path of your transverter.
  This setup worked here for 2 years now with a 50 Mhz Ten-Tec
  Transverter and 2 SSB-Electronic-Transverters for 2m & 70cm .
