Hi Gang, Setting my XV222 and XV432 up to run with my K2/10 with I/O has been an issue and I just found out why. With the K2 set for LP, split path, the power out at the phono plug is not 1.0 mW as setup in the menu, but 0.2 mW. The transverters work FB when set to single cable and HP, say 5W drive.
I figure that the K60XV has a problem. The manual says to check the parts in the LP path. Without any RF voltage info to go with, I figure that just replacing Q1, D1, and D2 will likely solve the problem. It's a shotgun approach, but looks reasonable to me. Comments? I'm also on the fence. I really need a rig in the shack that'll do 100W on 6M and be a b/u on HF. I had a TS-690SAT and did not care for it much. Choices are the XV50 and TE Systems 170W amp or an FT-450D or maybe an FT-950. A K3 is not in the FY11 or FY12 budget. E-Skip season is almost here! 73, Mark K2QO K2 #543 FN03ra ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
