I am installing a new 2m transverter to my K3 and ran into an issue with the s-meter on the K3.
The transverter has two Rx circuits so both the main and sub-Rx in the K3 are fed with converted 2m signal. I was adjusting the IF gain in the transverter so that the noise level would read S2-S3 on the K3. These are two separate gain pots one controlling the input to KVX3 Rx input and the other the aux input. All that was going well, but I discovered that the s-meter only indicates signals from the main-Rx. I have the sub-Rx input coming from the aux antenna and not being fed from ANT1. I can hear the change in noise level in the sub-Rx when I connect/disconnect to the aux antennas jack, but it is not showing up on the s-meter when the sub Rx is selected. I discovered this after a lot of confusion, thinking I had a problem in the sub-Rx. Is this normal (no s-meter reading from the sub-Rx?). It is not really a big issue as I can adjust the level by looking at my two LP-Pan displays. Just very surprised by the lack of s-meter function on the sub-Rx. I wonder if this is an issue when running in transverter mode (CONFIG: XVN ON)? 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-testing*, 3400-winter?
