Hi According to Elecraft this is NOT a good way to connect the transverters. The isolation in the KAT2 is not good enough and you will most likely be transmitting a small amount of 10 meter RF into your HF antenna system when using the transverter unless you disconnect the HF antenna. I tried this hook up at first and abandoned it after the information came out from Elecraft to not use it. The low level IF I/O on the KX60M is a much better way to connect the transverters.

If your transverter has split connections for Input/Output, you need the 160m/RX-Ant option. In this case, use ANT 2 to drive the transverter and RX-Ant for the RX-path of your transverter. This setup worked here for 2 years now with a 50 Mhz Ten-Tec Transverter and 2 SSB-Electronic-Transverters for 2m & 70cm . -- Best regards, Martin K2 #2706 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
