I have the XV50 and XV144 on my K2. And other than a separate power out LED on the front of the transverter, it becomes just like that band was installed on the K2. David On 9/8/2012 8:11 PM, Gil G. wrote: Thanks Ray, I should have mentioned that I was considering a 2m Elecraft transverter

Gil, The Elecraft XV series transverters were designed to interface with the K2, and then extended to the K3. If your K2 includes the K60XV option with its 1 mW TX and RX connections, the operation is seamless. The K60XV transceiver ports connect to the transverter and the HF antenna

Phil, It sounds like you have either the frequency offset or the IF frequency currently set to 14.000 MHz - something to check out. Look at all the parameters for the TRN3 entry and you will find one of them incorrect. The IF frequency should be 28 MHz. 73, Don W3FPR Phillip Buckholdt

Hi Kevin, I designed the XV transverters for Elecraft and will attempt to answer your question. Receiver design always requires some compromise between sensitivity and dynamic range. To maximize sensitivity, lossy elements, like filters, are moved farther away from the antenna to minimize

The transverters are excellent. Easy to build and awesome performance. I ordered my first Elecraft product, a XV144 - the 2m transverter, a week ago. Took just a few hours to assemble it, and it was easy to align and setup. I have done a fair bit of kit building and home brewing (DSP10,

If only I could rig up a pan adapter for the K2, I'd use that as an IF rig instead of the Kenwood 850. Raj, As an alternative, N4PY's software control program has a bandscan function, that when you press it, it takes over the K2 for about 10 seconds, and scans the bandwidth you

Hi Make sure you are using the BNC on the right (J3) when looking at the back for the TX IF in and the one on the left (J2) for the RX IF out. The silk screen is backwards on some of the rear panels and there may be a little label over the original silk screen with the correct information on

Paul, I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF! I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and leaky connections in the 70s! I would only recommend good solid cables and

HI Yes if you install the KX60M option then the switching is not required on the antenna because the K2 RF is not required to drive the transverter. The drive comes from the low level output on the KX60M not the K2 finals. The K2 output circuit is turned off when the transverter is selected on

Hi Paul, We also offer the K60XV internal transverter interface option for the K2. It has a separate low level output for the driving transverters and automatically switches to that output from the K2's HF output when you select a transverter band. To correct for the 100 Hz offset go into
