I can't bring to mind any user setting which would cause this issue. However, before getting out your sledgehammer, I suggest you run through the TX Gain Calibration routine, which is in the manual - pay particular attention to the Milliwatt Calibration because this is the power level used to drive the transverter. I'm not 100% convinced this will help, because you say that the 432MHz transverter behaves fine. Given your earlier mentioned problem with the 144MHz transverter tx frequency, it looks like the transverter has an obscure problem best directed to the experts - Elecraft Inc. One last suggestion, are you getting these results with amplifier and aerials attached - possibly you have an issue with RF getting into your power supply. If you can, see if the results of your test change when you use a dummy load.

I guess that is another strike for my xv144 it is 100% repeatable here. So I imagine I have a user setting fouled up. Not an uncommon happening to a newbie to a piece of equipment. I wonder of this is related to the constant 5kHz transmit offset I wrote about. Thinking aloud. Time I buy an Icom for 144 EME I guess. Though I really didn't want another rig. thanks for the reply. -- Best regards, Bob KD7YZ Win7-64bit + K3 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 8053 (20130226) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 8053 (20130226) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 8053 (20130226) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
