Steve- which radio and transverter are you using? In some transverters, the Local Oscillator drifts with temperature - sometimes a lot. This is typically more pronounced on the higher bands, but can be troublesome even on 2m. I used to have the Elecraft external transverters (XV144, XV222, XV432), and tamed the drift quite a bit by adding the optional ovens on the LO crystals on each of them. Not perfect, but better.
You mentioned it happens as you transmit, so it very well could be due to components heating up while transmitting. Another thing to check is the input voltage to both radio and transverter. If the voltage is sagging during transmit, you may have similar symptoms. Make sure your power supply can handle the load, and that all of your DC wiring is good and has minimal voltage drop. You might also try without the amp to see if that additional load on the power supply is making any difference. Good luck! let us know how it goes. 73 de W0ZF I have no experience with the internal transverters on any Elecraft radio. 73 de W0ZF On Sun, Mar 10, 2024 at 5:14 PM Steve McKee <steve.mcke...@gmail.com> wrote: > We have a SSB 2M net on Saturday's and > I use a Mirage 30w Amp inline for the extra boost.
