I have a K2/10 connected to a KAT100 and KPA100, both enclosed in the
external EC2 enclosure. Works great, thanks to Don in Wake Forest. I just
acquired a used XV 50 and have been trying to connect it to my K2 setup. I
can't figure out how to connect the antenna output from the transverter to
my 6 meter dipole. I have the antenna 1 port from the K2 going to the EC2,
and two antenna ports from the EC2 going to antennas. I control antenna 1
and antenna 2 on the EC2 with the K2 antenna switch/button; this is normal.
I now have a free antenna 2 port on the K/2 and the single antenna port on
the XV50. The instructions ((XV50,K60XV (which I have and use with the
transverter) and K2)) indicate the coax to the 6 meter antenna should be
directly from the transverter. That doesn't seem to work. How does the K2
know which antenna port to use? Should I use antenna 1 or antenna 2 switch
on the K2? The antenna 2 output on the K2 is not connected to anything now
based on the way it is connected to the EC2; K2 uses only antenna 1 port
although ports 1 and 2 are used from the KPA100 to antennas. Thanks. Ron
