[NLRS] Help for W9HQ w Elecraft XV-222 t'verter

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    I'm passing along this message to NLRS from new EN43 guy W9HQ, David.  
David is all set up on 6, 2 and 432, from a ridgetop location near Westby, 
WI.   He's having a bit of trouble and here's his message: 

    Hello all, 

Time is short, but I'm struggling a bit to get an XV222 and IC-746 to play 
together for the contest tomorrow.  I believe I have all the jumpers set up 
correctly for up to 8 watts of drive and the 200 msec delay on transmit 
switching.  I am receiving okay, but every time I key up to transmit it 
kicks the XV222 into its input overload condition.  I've turned the IC-746 
output all the down, but according to my meter I'm still putting out about 
10-12 watts on 28.100 MHz. 

If this is going to play in the contest I've got to come up with a scheme to 
get some attenuation on the transmit input while not clobbering my receive. 
If anybody has an idea I can try, please respond directly. 

Thanks and 73, 

David  W9HQ
