[Elecraft] NG0R - K2+K60XV+XV144/222/432 - Setup Issue

[John Hoaglun]

I am in need of a little bit of guidance for where to start looking.....

I have a K2 that I have owned for a couple of years (10w, SSB, K60VX,
160m, tuner, rs232.)   I have a XV222 that I have owned and used prior
to me building my K2. Last fall I bought XV144 and XV432 so that I could
reintegrate the VHF/UHF portion of my shack. Over the winter/spring I
assemble the 2 new transverters but never integrated them due to the
normal complexities of work/family + needing some cables. I finally am
getting back around to doing the integration & testing.

The XV144 and XV222 power up fine when setup for a non Elecraft IF rig.
(I have not tested the 432 yet but will likely finish the last couple of
remaining steps this afternoon to do that one as well.)  

I have K2 setup with TRN1 = 144, TRN2 = 222, and TRN3 = 432 and the DIPs
in the associated transverters match. Those three transverters are
marked "on" in the menu on the K2.

I have built the custom serial cable snake and it tests out fine with
the DVM on pins 1,6,8,9.

When I change the jumpers on the transverters to the K2 specs and hookup
the serial cable and then select either the 144 or 222 transverter
nothing occurs. I am expecting that the front panel light of the
transverter should be activated when that band is selected via the band
up/down buttons on the K2 when appropriate.

What am I am missing? It is like the K2 is not selecting the
transverters via the serial cable.

When responding to the list can you also respond to me directly with a
CC as I am a digest user.

Thanks, JH
