Ross,
I haven't done that specific thing myself, but have a look at the XVTR
Setup Window that you get from the XVTRs button on the Main Menu Bar.
The idea seems to be that you use the VHF+ button on the Band Panel,
which switches the buttons from HF bands to just numbers. Then you set
up what you want the buttons to mean on VHF via the XVTRs Window. In
particular, if you enable Band Button 0, for example, then you can
select the UCB Address [= Relay Number. Note that the Pins on the ExtCtl
Panel represent the _bits_ of the UCB Address with Pins 1-4 giving you
Relays 0-15.] You can also set up other useful stuff like the real
frequency covered by the XVTR. There is a little more detail in the
1.8.0 SDR-1000 Manual, Chapter 9 Operating Forms.
I'm not completely sure how you are trying to set things up, but it
sounds like you have only two choices - select 2m or select 70cm. That
sounds like a single button/relay will do using the normally open
connection. E.g., enable Button 0 for 70cm and select UCB Address 0.
Then, when you select Button 0, the UCB relay will close, switching your
control relay to the 70cm position. If you select any other button -
enable another one for 2m and some other Address - the relay will
release and the control relay will switch to 2m.
That's probably garbled some but I hope you get the idea. Keep me
posted.

P.S. - I spent some vacation time last year in NZ and loved it.

Thanks Chris, that answers the question exactly.
My next question is related.
I am trying to use the UCB in the following manner.
I have my SDR1000 1 watt rig, set up to drive a transverter on 2m an
70cm.
by enabling 1 and 2 in the XVTR option.
I have relays feeding the 2 and 70 transverters, I wish to use the UCB
to
control the relay that selects either the 2 or 70cm relays.
So far I haven't worked out how to do it. My idea is that when I select
say
1 (which is 144mhz) then the controlling relay will switch the
SDR output to the 144mhz relay then to the transverter, similarly when 2
(432) is selected the controlling relay will switch the input to the 432
relay.
Using the EXT CTRL in the setup doesn't seem to work.
Ideas as to what I need to do please.
Thanks
Ross

1) These were added after the schematic was drawn. The schematic is not
up-to-date.
2) These are for future enhancements. Leave them open.
3) INP6 is a "virtual line" on the schematic. The two instances of it
connect together. In other words, the PCB connects the top of R1 to Pin
3 of U8.

Subject: [Flexradio] UCB schematic and header question
Hi all,
This query doesn't seem to have made onto the reflector, so I am sending
it again.
My apologies if it coms up twice.
I have built up the UCB , but I have a couple of questions.
(a) the schematic on the K3TUF website does not show U13, U14, U15 etc
is there an updated schematic anywhere?
(b) at the bottom of the board is a 10pin header, this does not appear
to be in the schematic either, are these pins supposed to be jumpered?
if so is it across the board?
(c) what is INP6 (as shown on the schematic) and where does it come
from?
Assistance please.
Thanks
Ross
