I am in need of a little bit of guidance for where to start looking..... I have a K2 that I have owned for a couple of years (10w, SSB, K60VX, 160m, tuner, rs232.) I have a XV222 that I have owned and used prior to me building my K2. Last fall I bought XV144 and XV432 so that I could reintegrate the VHF/UHF portion of my shack. Over the winter/spring I assemble the 2 new transverters but never integrated them due to the normal complexities of work/family + needing some cables. I finally am getting back around to doing the integration & testing.
The XV144 and XV222 power up fine when setup for a non Elecraft IF rig. (I have not tested the 432 yet but will likely finish the last couple of remaining steps this afternoon to do that one as well.) I have K2 setup with TRN1 = 144, TRN2 = 222, and TRN3 = 432 and the DIPs in the associated transverters match. Those three transverters are marked "on" in the menu on the K2. I have built the custom serial cable snake and it tests out fine with the DVM on pins 1,6,8,9. When I change the jumpers on the transverters to the K2 specs and hookup the serial cable and then select either the 144 or 222 transverter nothing occurs. I am expecting that the front panel light of the transverter should be activated when that band is selected via the band up/down buttons on the K2 when appropriate. What am I am missing? It is like the K2 is not selecting the transverters via the serial cable. When responding to the list can you also respond to me directly with a CC as I am a digest user.
