I am looking to add the DEMI (Q5) transverter to my K3s and have no experience with transverters other than the internal one in my KX3. In the future, I may wish to progress to 2m EME as well.
Here are some choices I need to make and I would appreciate any advice: Common IF vs Split IF. I'm thinking split IF with a K3s? Common RF or Split RF. Common RF for one antenna connection? IF drive level of -20 to 0dBm vs 0dBm to +20dBm. I think the K3s transverter output is 0dBm so I'm not sure what to think here. PTT polarity low instead of high I'm thinking. High stability Local Oscillator vs. standard. I could get a custom IF and I think there is some slight advantage to a 14mHz custom but I'm guessing the 28mHz standard IF is good enough? Thanks in advance for any advice or references. ----- 73, Joe, W8JH K3s, KPA 500, KAT 500 and KX3 happy user. -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ 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]
