[Elecraft] Transverter Interace Question

[Dave]

Hi Doug

Your work around  is the way I had to do it when I borrowed one to use a
28MHz IF!

I recently asked kuhne if there was a split IF /1mw of drive so I could use
the 23cm module with the kxv3b and was told "that option is available with
the built option" (ie the 1100 Euro model). For that reason I am continuing
to use the internal 2m xverter , to drive my homebrew 1296/144 xverter,
despite the internal 2m xverter only having 1-10W output available on the
power knob (ie 0-1W is not available)

I am trying to make a Kuhne 23cm transverter work with my K3 with a KXV3B
transverter interface. I have it mostly set up on an IF of 28MHz? and as?
transverter 2. The Kuhne wants a watt or so to drive it. The problem is that
it looks like to get a watt out of the K3, I need to have it hooked up to
the main antenna instead of the KXV3B. The problem I see is that if I forget
that the transverter is hooked up to Ant 1 and go on HF it looks like I'll
blow the transverter. 
?? The work around I have figured out so far is to use the transverter on
Ant.2 and HF on Ant. 1, since the antenna is memorized on a per band basis,
that might keep me out of trouble. This K3 is a spare and only rarely used
on HF. 
??? Has anyone else figured out a different way? Will this work? Any other
ideas? 
??? Thanks, Doug K6JEY
