[Elecraft] 2 different 144MHz transveters and CAT selection

[hdv at kpnplanet.nl]

I have the same K3s issue, however with the internal K144XV and an external
dual rx 2 meter transverter.
Besides CAT the same applies to the keyboard frequency input.
I guess we have to live with it...

Onderwerp: [Elecraft] 2 different 144MHz transveters and CAT selection

I have an unusual situation in that I have 2 different 2m transverters
attached to my K3S.

One system is a dual channel ME2T-XP and uses the SUB RX, this is only used
for EME and it designated XV1.

The second is used on tropo/terrestrial DX and contests and is an
ME2T-ProII, this is XV2.

If I use WSJT-X and use CAT I have a problem in that a CAT selection for
144MHz always chooses XV1 which is not what I want at all most of the time.
There are gain and LO offset configurations that mean that using a switch in
the IF is not ideal.

Currently my solution is to set the RF frequency for XV1 to 70 MHz
temporarily which always confuses me when I want to go on 2m EME. What would
be ideal would be some way of setting the CAT XV priority from the front
panel. I think that this must be a firmware update, its an easy one but of
course would be low down the list.

Something of a luxury problem I know.

Maybe there is another way or something that I did not think of?
