Rob, Assuming you have all the K2 trn 1 menu parameters set correctly and the transverter properly configured (and you likely have them correct or the transverter would not work in SSB mode), you have a mystery for me. The Transverter does not know (and should not know) whether the RF is being produced as CW or SSB. All I can conclude is that the K2 is producing no RF at 28 MHz when in CW mode. The fact that no indicators are illuminated adds to my suspicion that there is no RF present.
Since you have RF in CW mode on all the HF bands, I would recommend that you disconnect the coax to the transverter and connect it to a dummy load - then see if there is RF output from the K2 when the band is set for 50 MHz and in CW mode. You can use a 'scope or RF Probe across the dummy load to detect the RF. I can see nothing in the setup that would prevent CW output when SSB output works OK - the only thing I can think of is that somehow you are getting the K2 into CW Test mode (is the 'c' on the K2 display blinking?) - I'm guessing here because the CW test mode does not change when you change bands, and it is reset after a power off cycle. You might try setting the K2 menu INP parameter to 'Hand' temporarily to see if it works when the K2 is keyed from a long keypress - if it does, you should be looking carefully at the keying characteristics of your K2 - perhaps the weight menu setting or the 8R delay parameter, but that is only another quick guess on my part. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hi Don, thanks for responding, > > Short coax cable between K2 Ant > Txin IF1 > Antenna is connected to transverter Ant plug. > > Control cable is connected between K2 and transverter > > SSB on 6 meter works fine so cables are ok.
