RE: [Elecraft] Re: Transverter with Common IF
A short jumper wire across the connector wiring points on the K60XV board would do the same as the Y adapter and be just as easy - one less connector point to cause future problems IMHO. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Kent Tannery wrote: I am trying to use my K2/100 (K60XV transverter interface installed) with a Down East Microwave 900mhz transverter which has only a common IF (not a TX IF and RX IF).

If this doesn't work, please let me know -- it should. It should also be documented in the XV series manual. If not, it was an oversight on my part.

[Elecraft] Re: Transverter with Common IF
True enough, Don. Thanks for mentioning this. Of course the external Y cable has the advantage of being quickly removed if one wanted to use a different transverter. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 17, 2006, at 7:00 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: A short jumper wire across the connector wiring points on the K60XV board would do the same as the Y adapter and be just as easy - one less connector point to cause future problems IMHO. 73, Don W3FPR --- http://www.elecraft.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Re: Transverter with Common IF
I am now curious if the Y RCA cable connector on the K2's Transverter option will also work for the menu setting of High Power on the Transverter (H0.1 - H12.7 watts) or does this only apply for the Low Power setting of milliwatts?
