Sure enough, the BPFs are in the low-level RF path on TX and RX. Moral of the story is to choose a transverter with a 28 MHz IF when maximum usable frequency range is desired. Gary NA6O __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.

Guess I’ll have to study the K3 block diagrams. For some reason I thought Xvrt Out didn’t go thru the BPFs. -Gary NA6O On Jul 8, 2019, at 5:14 PM, w4sc wrote: > > At 15MHz you are starting to be out of the 20M passband filter, at 16MHz you > are well out of the 20M pass band,,, the passband

At 15MHz you are starting to be out of the 20M passband filter, at 16MHz you are well out of the 20M pass band,,, the passband on 10M is around 2 or 3MHz wide and thus would provide the proper drive level for 144 (28MHz), 145 (29MHz), and 146 (30MHz) MHz operation. From the K3 users manual, p

I'm testing the K3 XVTR output level for use with a Kuhne 144 transverter (opt. 05) which uses a 14 MHz IF. XV1 PWR is set to 1.5 mW as required. Checking with my spectrum analyzer, key-down CW output power at the XVTR Out jack varies as follows: VFO=144 MHz (14.0 MHz out)  +1.3 dBm 145 (15.0
