[Elecraft] xv transverters

[Dave Fugleberg]

I built three of them (144, 222, 432) and have used them with my K3 in my
contest rover for several years. They are solid performers, and they work
seamlessly with the K3.

Since they can be used with many kinds of radios in many configurations,
there are a number of jumpers and connections you must set correctly to
make them work in your specific setup.
What radio are you using for the IF?

Don’s advice is spot on (as always) - best to set up one at a time and
remove some variables.
