Transverter Questions

Post by K2GC »

First... is there anyway to set up transverter offsets, while using a standard antenna port? Some transverters require up to say 10w to drive, and you cant get that out of the transverter port.

Second...

When running dual RX... it seems even if I set RX1 to 2m (via transverter) and RX2 to say 10m.... it appears that RX2 is on 2m somewhere still? Frequency still lists 10m, but I am seeing/hearing 2m traffic.... is this normal?

The XVTR panel is set to use only the XVTX/XVRX BNC ports on the back.

I just tried faking a transverter (since I dont have any) for 10GHZ, and used RX2 on various other HF bands and it worked.

But the antenna panel can be confusing since RX1 RX/TX Antenna is showing the last valid HF antenna port.
So it may get confusing when selecting the Antenna for RX2.
