Paul, If I remember correctly, clicking "XVTR present" on the Setup tab only pertains to having an internal DEMI FRS 2m transverter installed on top of the SDR-1000 board stack. For external transverters, I believe that box remains unchecked, and only the Transverters setup screen needs to be configured.
At one point, I had my 1-watt SDR-1000 driving an external DEMI 144-28HP, which in turn drove my Lunar-Link LA-22, with a LNA Technology CAV144 preamp on RX, all sequenced by an external N6CA sequencer driven with a footswitch. It worked great - essentially a 1500-watt 2m SDR-1000. I had no issues with relay racing as I moved across the band. I'm now expanding to a multi-band setup with the Flex 5K, which sets up almost identically. You are correct on the power setting. 100% means 100% out of the SDR-1000. 73, Dan KB5MY/6 DM13nc > Hi all, > I'm making my first post here, > > I'd like to ask for some advice regarding a relay race issue I'm having > when clicking on the back ground screen moving up or down the band on 2m > using an external XVTR.The relay race and cracling through the speakers > does not happen when back in H.F. mode. > > My SDR1000 is a Jan 2007 build and built and tested in the factory. > > I've made the small R.F. lead and fitted it with the 2 pin connector for > J2 and mounted a BNC on the rear of the unit at J2 also for a common > I.F. and connected my elecraft xv-144. > > Within "setup" tab I have clicked XVTR present and selected no logic as > I plan on sequencing externally and that option saves having to use a > blocking cap. > > Within "XVTER'S" tab I have filled in information for button 0 and all > works fine,I'm guessing power = 100 means 100% ???
