I have an intermittent problem with my XV144 (driven by a K3). On transmit I can see power output on the LEDs (3 greens) even when there is no audio input and the transverter is getting quite hot. Stations tell me my signal sounds fine with no background noise. So it's generating RF somewhere else!
Also, more seriously, occasionally, when I return to receive after transmitting, the transverter LEDs all illuminate, I lose receive sensitivity almost completely, although I can still barely hear louder signals. The transverter won't transmit unless I switch off and on the K3 and the XV144. This occurs more often as the transverter heats up. I can't tell whether the first problem relates to the second or vice versa. The second problem was the first to occur and happened on a previous XV144 I owned, so it's not just a one-off. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
