[Elecraft] XV144 input level selection - working with IC7800

[Siu Johnny]

Hi Don,

>From page 3, specifications, of the XV144 Owner manual, the I.F. iput power 
range is from -20dBm to +39dBm.

According to operation manul of IC7800, the transverter terminal output 
level is -20dBm (or 22mV).

Does this mean that I.F. output of my IC7800 can still drive the XV144 to 
the designed power level of 20 watts?

Looking for your advice.

TNX & 73

Johnny,

Re-check that output level because it seems quite low.  22mV into a 50 ohm
load is only 9.7 uW power.  I would expect something more on the order of 1
mW and upward.
