Raj, The full set of oscillator and oven power jumper options is on page 74 of the transverter manual. If you are using the oven and want the best stability, I would believe you would want the oscillator and oven on all the time (even when the K2 is off), and for that, the jumper is placed on 4 and 5. You are correct - if you want the oscillator and oven to be powered only when the K2 is powered, the jumper goes on 2-3. With the junper on 1-2, the oscillator and oven are powered only when the transverter is selected.
