Thanks David & Roger for the advice. I should be able to sort it out now.

It would appear, on re-reading the manual this morning, and what has
been said below, that I need a seperate lead from the K3 ACC
connector as the RS232 lead did not work. If that is the case, what do
I need to do with the XV144 settings? Should the jumper settings till
be set to the K2 settings?
Yes, John, you do need a separate ACC lead wired as quoted by Gary as
follows....
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 8< --- --- --- --- --- ---
You need to use the DE-15 AUX I/O connector to interface with the XV144.
The auxbus line is needed for addressing and control of the transverter
(using its ADR setting and the XV's DIP switches). And the KEYOUT-LP
line is needed to place the XV into transmit mode, in the same way as
the 8R line does for the K2. So you'll need to make a cable like this:
XV DB9 K3 DB15
Pin Pin
1 ground 5
6 auxbus 2
8 XVTR ON 7
9 PTT 10
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 8< --- --- --- --- --- ---
My K3 settings for the XV144 are as follows...
KXV3 nor
XV1 ON yES
XV1 RF 144
XV1 IF 28
XV1 PWR L1.50
XV1 OFS -0.89 (Yours may need to differ)
XV1 ADR trn1
I hope that helps.
