[Elecraft] xv transverters

[Joseph McIntire]

Yeah I think I would just  like to get them to work as they should or were designed to. I think I would then sell them as i do have a k3 for 50 and an IC910 H for 144.

I bought three of these transverters used about 15 years ago from a ham
who had built them, and mostly they sat on a shelf after I'd moved
across the country. They were for the 50, 144, and 220 MHz bands. I sold
the 50MHz unit once I had a K3 that covered that band, loaned the 220
MHz unit to a friend who does VHF rovering, and eventually got around to
using the 2M unit myself. The few times I used the 220 MHz unit in
Chicago and later the 144 MHz unit here in W6, I found them varying
degrees of unstable. It didn't take much to figure out why. They were
built with Pin One Problems -- all the I/O is via BNCs that are
insulated from the shielding enclosure!

I have no idea what they're doing now, but I don't recommend those that
I owned.

But the power indicator came on till I hooked them up to do the alignment. I really cant see paying shipping and $125 an hour to get something fixed that cost $369.00 new. But they must be pretty fickle if one miss step in the setup takes them out. Just hate to see $700. 00 go down the drain.
