I have acquired a Spectrum Communications 10m - 2m transverter. This transverter has a single connection to the K3 and requires about 5W drive for maximum power. I do not have the KXV3 interface on my K3, which in any case is not intended for this transverter.
I have set up a transverter band on the K3 and the display shows 145.000 MHz. I can receive a local repeater OK. But I cannot transmit. I put a power meter on the output of the K3 but it does not detect any output. Here is how I have the transverter oprtions set up in CONFIG: XV1 ON - YES XV1 RF - 144 XV1 IF - 28 XV1 PWR - H 5.0 XV1 OFS - 0.00 XV1 ADR - trn1 KXV3 = not inst Peculiarly, when I turn the PWR control, the power varies from 0.10MW to 0.50MW. I don't know if this is what normally happens when the KXV3 is installed, but it seems to me that it might be related to my problem. I doubt if my power meter would register half a milliwatt. Help, please. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
