Thanks Don Good point, i have proberly been a little careless on this SW requirement, as i got the K2#5111 with all options in one shipment from Elecraft. I guess they normal take good care that the right versions are included when shiping together. But i will indeed check as soon i get home from work if i got the right version.
If you are the owner of the XV144 and using it in the Low power setup, could i ask you to use the tune button to TX the transverter with the power set to the full. and the see if your K2 display will show the 1 mW about. In my case it showed something like 0.17mW with the power set to full 1mW, and i tuned the XV144 according to that. Only now i think about if that display was really true i have tuned the XV to deliver max power at 1/5 input. Then maybe if Keying with the mike. are giving the 1mW no wonder i overload the XV. Thanks in advance OZ1BZJ BR. Michael On Tue Feb 21 13:11 , "Don Wilhelm" sent: Michael, Check the 'Firmware Requirements' section of the K60XV manual. You must have Version 1.07 or later of the KSB2 firmware installed to provide proper power level control when using SSB through the low-power output. It does sound like you have an earlier version of the KSB2 firmware. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > A question on the XV calibration. > > I am trying to align the XV144 using K2 with XV60 to drive the > transverter.
