OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER AS AN
EXCITER OF THE TRNASVERTER
This is a convenient function when this transceiver is used
coupled with a transverter which can convert the operating
frequency of this transceiver to another frequency. Refer
to the instruction manual supplied with the transverter for
details on how to connect to the transverter.
Note:
◆ If you use a transverter, some functions of the transceiver cannot
be used.
PRECAUTION:
◆ Turn the main power switch (I/O) of the transceiver and transverter
OFF, then connect the transceiver to the transverter. Be sure that
the transceiver is properly connected to the transverter, and then
turn the main power switch (I/O) of the transceiver and transverter.
CONNECTING THE TRANSVERTER TO THE
TRANSCEIVER
There are two methods to connect the transceiver to
the transverter: Connection via the ANT connector (TX
and RX, the fixed 5 W transmit power), and connection
via the RX IN connector (RX input) and DRV connector
(Drive output). Either of the connections can change the
displayed frequency of the transceiver to the operating
frequency display of the transverter.
If the signal exceeding 5 W is entered from the ANT
connector to the transverter, you must also select "Off"
in Advanced Menu 08, "TX Power Down with Transverter
Enabled", to disable the capability to limit the transmit
power to 5 W.
■ To connect to the RX IN and DRV connectors
1 Connect the transverter to the RX IN and DRV
connectors.
2 Press [RX IN] to enable the reception via the RX IN
connector.
"
" appears on the main screen.
3 Press [RX IN] to enable the transmission via the DRV
connector.
The "DRV" LED lights green.
■ To connect to the ANT connector
1 Connect the transverter to the ANT connector.
2 Press [RX IN] to disable the reception via the RX IN
connector.
"
" appears on the main screen.
3 Press [DRV] to disable the transmission via the DRV
connector.
The "DRV" LED turns Off.
Note:
◆ Selecting the RX IN and DRV connectors disable the transmission
and reception using the ANT connector.
TRANSMIT POWER REDUCTION WHILE THE
TRANSVERTER IS ENABLED
If the transverter is capable of 5 W or more RF input level
and if the signal exceeding 5 W is entered from the ANT
connector to the transverter, you need to select "Off" (do
not fix the transmit power to 5 W) for the transmit power
down while the transverter is in operation.
