Don: I have the dip switches and the shorting blocks correctly set in the XV50,
but I don't see the following in the K2 menu. This is from your e-mail: "Also
set it for split TX/RX IF cables. The K2 TRNx selection
should match the DIP switch settings in the XV50." Is this done inside the K2
or XV50 or is it a menu function of the K2? I set the TRN1 on the K2 menu
correctly per the instructions. Thanks again for the help. Ron

Ron,
The 6 meter antenna connects directly to the XV50.
Since you have the K60XV, set up the XV50 for 1 mW input power, and set
it as TRN1 (or 2 or 3 or 4, your choice) with the dip switches in the
XV50. Also set it for split TX/RX IF cables. The K2 TRNx selection
should match the DIP switch settings in the XV50. Set the other menu
parameters - especially the power equals Low and 1.00 mW. That should
make you "good to go"
When the KPA100 is connected, you cannot use the QRP ANT2 for anything -
the presence of the KPA100 forces the KAT2 to ANT1.
When you have it set up correctly, the band switch will select 6 meters,
the XV50 will turn on and you can TX/RX just like on the HF bands, but
using the antenna that is connected to the XV50.
