I'm working on interfacing a new Q5 Systems 5 band xvtr with my K3s. I have run the mW calibration procedures and the K3s and the Q5 are operating fine together. I have set the K3s max XVTR power output to 1.00 mw on each band (XVn PWR L 1.00) and I expected to be able to turn the power all the way down to .01 mW as stated in the manual. However, the lowest I can get the power turned down to with the PWR knob is .10 mW. I need to be able to turn the K3s xvrt power output down very low to drive the xvtr to about 500 mW output to match the low drive requirements of one of my brick amps.
I can set the XVn PWR to a drive level below .10 mW but the power knob does not seem to be operable below .10 mW. The power settings for each xvtr band in the XVn PWR setting are showing this same behavior. Reference page 41, Using Transverters, XVn Power, "L .01- L 1.27 specifies a power level in milliwatts." Reference page 68, Xvn PWR Default L .01 Any help with what I'm missing here is truly appreciated. 73, Jack W4NF ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
