[Elecraft] Wiring a K2 to 2 transverters

[Don Wilhelm]

Lenny,

I do believe you could do as you suggest and connect one transverter to 
the hi-pwr RF output of the K2 and the other transverter to the K60XV 
jacks as long as you set up the K2 transverter bands properly in the 
menu.  The manual method of controlling the 2 meter transceiver keying 
you proposed will work fine as long as you remember to close the switch 
to operate 2 meters and open it when on 6 meters.
