Don and Tom, Thanks to both of you for your answers. I understand the flexibility that 8R gives your in term of T/R switching. Can I still feed my +8V to the center pin of the coax to switch my Transverter thrue the RF in ? Tom I saw your t-r switch ! If I understand it right on TX there is

Martin, I would not recommend that you take the 8 volts out of the K2. As an alternative, develop the required DC voltage at the transverter end, and then ground it during transmit with the K2 amp keying circuit. OR - key a relay at the K2 end with the amp keying circuit, then use the relay
