[Elecraft] K2 Transverter set up query

[Vic]

Hi All,

 

I have a K2 with K60XV module, and I have an XV50 transverter set up as TRN1
all working fine and K2 is showing correct frequency when using the KV50.
The TRN settings are :

 

RF                   50

IF                     28

OFS                0

Power out       L1.00

Adr                  TRN1 

 

Now, I want to add a VLF receive converter  (this provides 0-150khz
coverage) as TRN2

I have set this up as:

 

RF                   0

IF                     28

OFS                0

Power out       L0.01

Adr                  TRN2 

 

I temporarily have the XV50 disconnected  entirely and the VLF converter
connected to the transverter IN phono socket on my K2. 

 

I have two issues:

 

1  The VLF converter is working on TRN1 although the frequency naturally
shows 50000 to 50150Khz  but it does NOT work on TRN2. No received signals
at all.

 

2        On TRN2 the frequency readout shows a frequency of around 86Mhz -
87Mhz and no signals from the VLF converter.

 

Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong here please. I'm wondering if I need
to connect the VLF converter via the XV50 which to enable the switching to
work correctly somehow.

 

I'd be most grateful for any suggestions.

 

Please  copy any replies to my e mail address.
