[Elecraft] Wiring a K2 to 2 transverters

2008-01-13 Thread w2bvh

Hi

I need some advice on wiring my K2 to two transverters. I've got a newly 
built  XV50 and a homebrew 2 meter transverter. I've run each of them 
individually with the K2, using the KIO2 to control the XV50 and a 
WA6HHQ (see http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Amp_keying_ckt.htm) keying 
circuit for the hb 2 meter xverter. But I've never had both transverters 
hooked up at the same time.


I'd like to have both transverters wired to the K2 at the same time and 
be able to use them with little (or no) manual intervention. The ARRL 
VHF/UHF test is coming up next weekend and I'm looking for a way to band 
switch as easily as possible.


Is it as simple as hooking the XV50's  RxOut/IF2 to the 2 meter 
transverter 28MHz input and putting a spst switch in the 2 meter 
trasverters keyline? Or will that not work?  Or is there a better way?


Thanks in advance for your advice.

73,
Lenny W2BVH

Lenny,

I do believe you could do as you suggest and connect one transverter to 
the hi-pwr RF output of the K2 and the other transverter to the K60XV 
jacks as long as you set up the K2 transverter bands properly in the 
menu.  The manual method of controlling the 2 meter transceiver keying 
you proposed will work fine as long as you remember to close the switch 
to operate 2 meters and open it when on 6 meters.
