Howdy K3' people:

I have not solved an annoying bugaboo with the workings of the
transverters.

So I unchained the three and am trying to get the 6m transverter to stay
consistent.

the 432 and the 144 will work individually. The 6m one is not-sp-much

For example, I have the 6m internal ability to get on six and I have the
red-hot, weak-signal ready, xv50. But when I try to transmit, it may or
may not actually put out RF/make the LED;s light and make a sound of
some internal relay inside it.

Or ... I will put out 30 watts.

I was calling cq a little while again. I then dialed around looking for 6m
beacons. There seems to be certain combinations of buttons I can activate
which will make  the transverter not put out RF. Sometimes I can shut
the power supplies off and come back later and it will transmit.

I have inspected cables; swapped cables; twisted turned and shook,
looking for loose connections . I am not able, even at the moment, to
make the darned thing transmit. Yes, the XV50 light is on.

Just out of curiosity, how t=does the 6m transverter know that if I use
DxLab Commander to select 50.095 CW, that I am talking about a
transverter and not the internal?

Cuz, if I go Band-up to 6m, I am on the internal 50meg band. If I i use
'Commander' then I get activation on the XV50 but not always the output.
