Re: [Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[Paul Gacek via Elecraft]

Just to close this out it turns out that the incorrect setting I had was 
XV2(Adr) = trn1.

Per Elecraft support I should have selected XV2(Adr) = int.trn0

The correct settings (which are different than configuring a K3) are;

XV2 (on) = Yes
XV2 (RF) = 1296
XV2 (IF) = 50
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS) = 0
XV2 (Adr) = int.trn0

Now works!!

Thanks to everyone that offered up suggestions.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[w4sc]

Dave,

Try:

XV2 (on) = Yes 
XV2 (RF) = 1296  1296 your transverter band RF freq.
XV2 (IF) = 5050 MHz for the KX3-2M option 
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS) = 0
XV2 (Adr) = INT trn1 Selects INTERNAL transverter.

I would be interested to know how the above works for you.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[Paul Gacek via Elecraft]

Thanks but 144 does not show up as an option when I select XV2 IF. Options are 
7,14,28 and 50.

Do I need to enable something else to get 144 as an option?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

You are telling the KX3 to use the 50 MHz output (on the BNC connector) 
and not the 144 MHz output from the 2 meter option.

Change the XV2 IF parameter to 144.

The XV2 ADR parameter gives the band decode that will be sent when that 
transverter is selected, and can be used to activate your 1296 
transverter if you decode the band data correctly.

As a SOTA guy mental arithmetic on a peak can be faulty and so I would prefer 
to configure one of the spare XVn (2-9) for 1296Mhz display/operation.

I have left the 2m XV1 parameters untouched and set the XV2 parameters as 
follows;

XV2 (on) = Yes
XV2 (RF) = 1296
XV2 (IF) = 50
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS) = 0
XV2 (Adr) = trn1

Unfortunately I am not driving the SG-Lab transverter with these XV2 settings 
and the band set to XV2 (i.e the one between 144 and 1.8Mhz

What have I misconfigured?

[Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[w4sc]

Paul,

Try setting the XV2 (Adr) = INT trn1 if it is available in the menu.


My KX3 is stored away currently, so I can’t check it,, however The K3 works as 
follows…  Reference P68 of K3S manual for more detail.

• XVn ADR specifies a transverter select address. Use INT. TRN0-9 with the 
K144XV (see XVn ADR description for details).

I hope the KX3-144 is implemented like the K3 in this regard, as I plan to use 
mine as a uWave IF along with a PX3 also.

Anyone here have answer??

[Elecraft] KX3/2m driving an SG-Labs 1296Mhz transverter configuration question

[Paul Gacek via Elecraft]

I have had the KX3/2m and SG Labs successfully working by simply selecting the 
KX3 2m band (i.e the KX3 VFO displays 144.200Mhz etc) and driving the SGLabs 
box with 144Mhz signals.

As a SOTA guy mental arithmetic on a peak can be faulty and so I would prefer 
to configure one of the spare XVn (2-9) for 1296Mhz display/operation.

I have left the 2m XV1 parameters untouched and set the XV2 parameters as

XV2 (on) = Yes
XV2 (RF) = 1296
XV2 (IF) = 50
XV2 (Pwr) = 3.0
XV2 (OFS) = 0

Unfortunately I am not driving the SG-Lab transverter with these XV2 settings 
and the band set to XV2 (i.e the one between 144 and 1.8Mhz

What have I misconfigured?
