Can I use an XV144 Transverter with my KX2?

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have received some nice presents ;-)

Maybe a silly question, but I didn't find anything in the manual and
would like to be on the safe side. I may be able to purchase a used
XV144 Transverter and would be interested in using it with my KX2 (only
in my shack at home). There needs to be some dip switch settings done
before using the Transverter, but as the manual is only mentioning the
K2 and K3, I am not sure on whether using K3 settings are appropriate or
whether I need to use another setting (and which one).

Thanks for any advice on this, so I can decide on whether I'll buy the
XV144 or not.

73 and a happy new year
Thorsten, DH4FT

Thorsten,

The XV144 will work with the KX2 - it needs only the KEYOUT signal from
Ring 2 of the ACC jack (or the the RCA jack on the KX2 to KXPA100) and
coax from the KX2 ANT jack.

Set the XV144 up as shown for a Non-Elecraft transverter with a single
coax input as shown in the XV144 Owners manual.

73 and HNY,
