Low transverter output
Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2020 2:36 pm
Hi,
I have a 7000DLE Mk2, Thetis & Protocol 1.
I am trying to interface my 2m Transverter via the two ports on the back of the rig. When I set the levels as per the manual (PA setting 65) the output from the Xvrt SMA is -43dBm. It should be 0dBm. I can get the 28MHz signal as high as -23dBM by changing the PA setting to its lowest value but the supply current then increases to well over 10 Amps even with the PA disable box ticked. Plainly this would be useless on a constant carrier mode such as FM.
Can anybody shed any light as to why the transverter output is so low?
