Operating the Transverter/Exciter
This is a handy function when combining this transceiver with a
transverter that can be used to convert the operating frequency of
the exciter (this transceiver) to a different frequency. For details on
the procedures for connecting the exciter with a transverter, please
refer to the instruction manual of the transverter in use.
Some functions on this transceiver are not usable when
a transverter is used.
Turn off the power of both this transceiver and the
transverter before connecting them. Check the
connection between this transceiver and the transverter
before turning on the power of both devices.
Connecting to a Transverter
There are 2 ways of connecting the exciter with a transverter. The
first is via the ANT connector (for both TX and RX and output is
fixed at 5 W), while the other is via the RX IN connector (RX input)
and DRV connector (drive output). Both types of connection allow
the frequency display of this transceiver to be changed to the
operating frequency display of the transverter.
To input a signal exceeding 5 W from the ANT connector to the
transverter, set the TX output power limit during transverter
operation to OFF in Advanced Menu [6] TX Power Down with
Transverter Enabled.
Connecting to the RX IN and DRV Connectors
1 Connect the transverter to the RX IN and DRV
connectors.
2 Press [RX ANT] to set reception from the RX IN
connector to ON.
<< >> is displayed.
3 Press [DRV] to set output from the DRV connector
to ON.
The [DRV] LED lights up in green.
Connecting to the ANT Connector
1 Connect the transverter to the ANT connector.
2 Press [RX ANT] to set reception from the RX IN
connector to OFF.
<< >> is displayed.
3 Press [DRV] to set output from the DRV connector
to OFF.
<<[DRV]>> LED goes off.
When the RX IN and DRV connectors are selected,
transmission and reception via the ANT connector are
disabled.
Turning off Power Down during Transverter Operation
When the RF input level of the transverter is 5 W or higher and
signal of 5 W or higher is output from the ANT connector to the
transverter, configure Power Down while the transverter is in use
to “Off” (turn off fixed output at 5 W).
Configure in Advanced Menu [6]
TX Power Down
with Transverter Enabled
Setting Value Off/ On (default)
When “Off” is selected, a maximum power of 100 W is
supplied to the device that is connected to the ANT
connector. This may damage the connected device or
cause it to malfunction so switching the power down
setting is entirely at your own risk.
Displaying the Operating Frequency Configured for
the Transverter
When the transverter is ON, the last digit of the frequency display
is not shown and the operating frequency configured for the
transverter is displayed.
1 Turn the Tuning control to select an operating
frequency for the exciter (this transceiver).
The transverter converts this frequency for output. Configure
the frequency such that it falls within the transmission range.
2 Press and hold [GENE] to set the transverter to ON.
<< >> is displayed and the frequencies that can be
configured for the transverter are displayed.
3 Press and hold [GENE] again.
The transverter is now OFF.
Some functions on this transceiver are not usable when
a transverter is used.
Configuring the Operating Frequency of the
Transverter
1 Press and hold [GENE] to set the transverter to ON.
<< >> is displayed.
2 Press [ENT] to enable input of a frequency value.
3 Enter the output frequency of the transverter using
the numeric keypad.
4 Press [ENT] to confirm the input.
Instead of the actual operating frequency of this transceiver,
the output frequency of the transverter is now displayed.
Operation Example: Operation by entering a 28 MHz
signal to a 430 MHz transverter
1 Connect a 430 MHz transverter to this transceiver.
2 Configure the RX frequency of this transceiver to
“28.000.000”.
3 Press and hold [GENE] to set the transverter to ON.
4 Press [ENT] for band selection using the numeric
keypad.
5 Next, enter “430.000.00” and press [ENT].
6 Turn the Tuning or [MULTI/CH] control on this
transceiver to select a frequency.
