[Elecraft] K3 transverter output question

[Steve Kavanagh]

Terry:

I have seen much the same thing with a DEM transverter and my K2, and I agree with your assessment.  The IF circuitry in the DEM transverters does not seem to be designed to give anything close to a 50 ohm input impedance, especially when set for for very low input powers.  It is quite reactive, at least for my transverter.  I ended up adding a component or two inside the DEM transverter to improve the matching, so the K2 could drive it properly.
