Ron, The 6 meter antenna connects directly to the XV50.
Since you have the K60XV, set up the XV50 for 1 mW input power, and set it as TRN1 (or 2 or 3 or 4, your choice) with the dip switches in the XV50. Also set it for split TX/RX IF cables. The K2 TRNx selection should match the DIP switch settings in the XV50. Set the other menu parameters - especially the power equals Low and 1.00 mW. That should make you "good to go" When the KPA100 is connected, you cannot use the QRP ANT2 for anything - the presence of the KPA100 forces the KAT2 to ANT1. When you have it set up correctly, the band switch will select 6 meters, the XV50 will turn on and you can TX/RX just like on the HF bands, but using the antenna that is connected to the XV50. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/2/2012 7:28 PM, KM4VX wrote: > I have a K2/10 connected to a KAT100 and KPA100, both enclosed in the > external EC2 enclosure.
