[Elecraft] Adding 222 mhz to K2

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

The native K2 (with options) has only bands 160 thru 10 meters.  If you 
have 50MHz on it, it must be by using a transverter.

How to physically add the 222MHz transverter should come from the 222MHz 
transverter manual and perhaps also the 50MHz transverter manual.
There is some information in the Using Transverters section in the base 
K2 manual - download if you do not have it.

Download the Elecraft XV series transverter owners manual to give you 
some information about how to connect the transverters and configure the 
menu.
The TRNx entry in the K2 sub-menu (TRNx RF) setting will allow you to 
read the transverter frequency on the K2 display.  There are other TRNx 
functions to set the IF band, the transverter offset (to compensate for 
the LO in the transverter not being exact) and the power level.
If your K2 has the K60XV option, you can use the low power outputs.

73,
