Don - Martin and the reflector members, I "do not" have the internal tuner. I "do have" the 100 watt option and there is the 160 meter option installed.
Hopefully, I would like to get the method suggested by Elecraft in the publication to work correctly. Any ideas or suggestions as to why the reduction in the audio level? What may have to be changed and where do I begin my pursuit to correct it?

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.
