Michael,
In the menu, you will find a parameter for compensating the frequency
settings for each transverter.
OTOH, if your problem is only the difference between the transmit and
receive frequencies, I would suspect that the same problem esists on the
lower level K2 as well.

I just built the XV144 Tranverter and discovered that it is 1.05 KHz off
when receiving and transmitting. I am using it with a K2/100/K60XV and don't

Does anyone know why it is off by this amount?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've built and calibrated K2 #4958. If I use the spot function to tune to the
exact frequency of another transceiver, the end result is I'm actually off by
about 120 Hz or so. I've recalibrated a couple times, and my display seems
accurate (judging by WWV anyway). I'm using a 600 Hz sidetone
I like the 150 kHz range on 30m for having WWV and on 20m (and 15m to some
extent) for big DX contests. While the tuning may be somewhat sensitive, it
is not difficult to control with a gentle touch. If you tend to stick close
to the QRP frequencies (or the "core" areas of each band) and don't need
Hi Don,
Thanks for yoor previous comments re the low output power from my KPA100.
I have checked all low pass filter components and they are fine.
Using an MFJ259 and having checked that MFJ output freq matches freq on K2
ie MFJ is aligned, I scanned low pass filters. Here is the synopsis of

this is an important point, because I became a little bit sweaty after
