XV432 added to order page; New XV Data Sheet

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

We've added the XV432 to our order page. It officially ships 3/15, but I
think we'll beat that.

There also is a new XV data sheet (.pdf) on our manual download page
that includes the XV432 information. See:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/XV%20Data%20Sheet%202006%20web.pdf

The XV432 operates identically to our other XVs and all four can be
stacked in parallel sharing the same IF connection to the K2, or any
other HF rig that covers 28 MHz.  We added  helical filters to the XV432
for excellent IF image rejection at 432 MHz and also an internal fan to
provide additional cooling for the 432 RF power module.

I'll post new internal pictures of the XV432 (which looks very similar
to our current XVs and uses the same enclosure) after I return from the
Orlando Hamcation Hamfest next week.

73, Eric  WA6HHQ

Hi,

What's the receive range on 70cms? I am looking for satellite support using
a transverter with my IC-7800.

Slight follow-on, the IC-7800 has (from memory) full RX up to 50 MHz or so.
I'm not looking at using terrestrial 70cms at the moment, but no doubt this
will happen at some time (who knows).

With luck I'll have the IC-7000 in a few months, so for simplex 2m / 70cms
this is the easier and (very essential) a portable option.

Simon,

Since the IF is stated to be 28 to 32 MHz, I believe that translates into a
receive range of 432 to 436 MHz.  I recall something being said earlier
about an optional crystal frequency for a different range, but I see nothing
about that in the XV data sheet.

Don W3FPR

Hi,

I just printed out the XV flyer (on my new OKI C5250 colour printer). Didn't
see this info about the IF - I wonder if my IC-7800 will TX between 30 and
32 MHz in transverter mode - guess I'll have to ask around.

I usually just listen anyway, rarely transmit.

Drat, just found the 28 - 30 MHz IF reference in the flyer. Chalk that one
up to a senior moment.

I will read before I post, I will read before I post,

The data sheet says 28-32 for the XV432.

Well I'm looking forward to this, together with the 2m transverter it saves
me buying a dedicated VHF / UHF rig for satellites.
