K144XV Doesn't work

Installed, set in menu
XV1 RF 144
XV1 IF 28
XV1 PWR L 1.50
XV1 OFS 5.40
XV1 ADR trn 1

LED flashes once when powered on

Firmware sent (again) LED flashes appropriately.

NO audio except FM hiss

if 'MODE is changed from FM to CW or DATA or AM - band switches to 46.940 (from 146.940)

if above is done from 144.390 then with CW, DATA, or CW it switches to 44.390

I thought it was supposed to XVT with 28MHZ per XV1 IF 28 ??

nothing heard with a sig gen either.

and of course no power out.

Any suggestions please

thanks John VE3NFK

(the rest of the updates went fine except Synchro AM now has a NEW annoying habit of 'clunking' as it crosses over 739.994 - 740.004 (medium wave am station) which it didn't do before)

I think if you set XV1 ADR to Int trn 1, it should work a lot better.
See the manual to be sure.

Hm, OK. Glad it's hearing now.

Since the IF is 28 MHz, you might want to make sure all modes are
working on 28 and then check out the 2m functions. If a feature
doesn't work on the IF, it won't work with a transverter.

soory - hit return by accident ..

Hi Matt

I checked this suggestion out and all modes are fine on th 10 meter
band (28.020) and only FM and USB/LSB on the 2 meters.. if you go to
CW/DATA/AM - the frequency drops to 44 MHZ

Re: K144XV Doesn't work

OK, the VFO A display only has so many digits. This means you've set
the step to 1 Hz. The top digit ('1') rolls off the end in this case.
For example, 44.200000 might be indicated for 144.2 mHz. It's
somewhere in the manual, I think. If not, it should be.
