Hi again, A couple of people have commented that the price for the fully built is a little high. So I have decided to lower the price to AUS$170 The kits are still a bit off, I suggest the fully built to those that are impatient. (construction documentation is the main delay) cheers, Graham

Thanks for the positive comments ED! As you may have seen, previously I specialize in microwave transverters. This was a Fun project to break it up a bit! I have really enjoyed getting back to the basics and at the moment is my favorite project :) There is always improvements to be made and

Gday all, Ive designed and built a transverter board for the band, It is working very well and is turning out to be popular. The K3 is a superb radio for driving it and is what i'm using myself. IF is typically 28Mhz but can easily be changed. There has been some delays due to component

Prices are yet to be confirmed, the kits should be around AUS$80 and fully built boards AUS$200 It may seem a little expensive but I hand built them, tune and test which takes a few hours. (a limited number of fully built ones are available already at this price) 73, Graham VK3XDK -- View

Tim, I see two main options... 1. Transverter is 'dumb' and is just there attached to the KX3 and no controls (other than basic T/R) come from KX3 to Transverter and you live with a display that is 'offset' by the IF. or 2. Transverter works with the KX3 menus for Transverters (see the XV

Hi Dom, I suppose being an 'old boy' I've been used to transverters that are dumb, I just learnt to ignore the MHz read outs and substituted the correct figures in my head!. I have the K3 as well as the KX3 and have just fitted the transverter output option which gives me 1mW to drive a box.

The transverters may be dumb, but the KX3 and the K3 both have the smarts to display the output frequency - anywhere between 0 and 24999 MHz. Just use the XVn RF menu to set the low end of the transverter output band. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/24/2013 8:30 AM, Tim Hague wrote: Hi Dom, I suppose

Thanks Don, Yes agreed I just advised was looking at two options. I had already been sent an email asking was this limited to KX3 only? The answer would be no hence the dumb option. UK has 472KHz-479KHz available to full licencees with a Notice of variation to the licence. The option

Dom, Note that there is also a XVn OFS menu entry that will allow you to enter an offset to compensate for variations in the transverter LO and give you the correct frequency reading in the lower order digits too. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/24/2013 9:08 AM, Dominic Baines wrote: Thanks Don, Yes
