Hello,
I know nothing about transverters, and I am wondering:
Does using a transverter make your radio behave exactly as if it had that band
built-in, or are there added complications associated with their use?
Thanks.

Mark,
HRD/DM780 will try to set your K3 to SSB, but if you can override that
and select DATA A instead, there will be fewer problems - for one thing,
K3 DATA modes automatically set TX EQ and RX EQ to flat and set the
compression to zero. so you don't have to invent macros to turn those

Put a resistor across each feedline is my advice. A value from 22k (I
like 3 watts for legal limit rating) to 100k will discharge the static.
A DC path across the feedline is a very good protection against antenna
static damage to your rig - the path to ground is not as essential as
I have the XV50 and XV144 on my K2. And other than a separate power out

Make sure you set the menu parameter RADIO to BCD. The Band Change parameter
should work just fine with the Yaesu.
Let me know if you continue to have problems with this.

If your K2 includes the K60XV option with its 1 mW TX and RX

connect to the transverter and the HF antenna

Hi Jack... Thanks for the reply.
Yes, RADIO has been set to BCD since I put the AMP online today. The
band changes just fine under the control of the FT-950, so the amp is
getting the correct info. I checked to make sure the amp changed with
each band selected on the FT-950. It's just when

OK a bit of explanation is in order. The K2 (and K3 as well as the K1)
control power based on measuring the actual output power and adjusting
the drive to provide the requested power level. That means a device
capable of measuring the RF output is necessary.
Well, that is the wattmeter in the
Don is totally right. But, cutting to the chase, put a 100K resistor
