Paul,
I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr
They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF!
I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and
leaky connections in the 70s!
I would only recommend good solid cables and connectors and no switch if
your wanting your system to remain at the best performance. The A/B type
switches are generally not good and will "leak" signal across the switch
ports.
You can use the offset command in the K2 menu to trim the transverter onto
an accurate external signal - as long as your really sure that your are
100Hz off!!! dont rely on the local beacon ;-)

Reflector Members,
Those of you using Elecraft Transverters........Are all of you using an A/B
type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup?
I was a little surprised to see that to get the Drive RF to the
transverters required the use of an external or separate switch that would
require the individual to switch from the HF antenna to the transverters
with an external switch.
Is there any way to use those lower drive RCA connectors to eliminate the
switch?
Second question - my 144 transverter is about 100 cycles high. Is there a
way to correct this?
Paul
