Hello Ian: It's not your fault! The K60XV was added to the Elecraft lineup after the transverters. At that time a K2 would always have been set for 5 watts out to produce 20 watts on 144 mHz. Use the K2 power setting that should correspond to 20 watts.
Of course, you must also have the transverter connected to the low-level RF output at the K2, and not to the Antenna BNC as shown in the diagrams in the section, "Connecting the Transverter to your Elecraft K2 Transceiver" The transverter manual needs a few updates, obviously. Thanks for catching that! Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hi all, OK, I am confused :-) I have built the K60XV and it is running. I just finished the main build of the 2m Elecraft transverter. I have got to page 60 in the transverter alignment. I have the control cable done and the transverter switches on when I select the band. I have connected a cable between the K60XV and the transverter. Now the manual on page 60 states to set the rig at 5 watts. However, I have the K60XV set to the low output line. Do I need to connect it to the main output of the K2 and set it to the high output line or can I use the low power line from the K60XV? I hope you can make something of that lot, I told you I was confused :-) Ian _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
