XV50 question

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

I finally finished my XV50, got it debugged and working. Now there is one more problem/question.

I setting up the configuration, I set the low power out of the K60XV to 1.0 MW. When I have everything connected, and operating, the display shows that the K2 is only putting our about 0.3 MW instead of 1.0 MW. Is this adjustable? It will only allow about 8 or 9 watts out of the XV50 instead of 20 Watts, with everything properly aligned.

Thank you for your help.

Best,

DW,

Do you also have the KAT2 installed in your K2?
If you do, did your see the note with the K60XV that the KAT2 R6 value
must be increased to 470 ohms?

Also:
The power knob does control the power output from the low power output
jack on the K2.  With the power knob set at full rotation, what is the
power output displayed by the K2?

Hi there

Had the same issue with my XV50-K60XV. The problem was solved when I changed the RF PCB jumper settings to the 251 mw level, i.e. I set the shorting blocks JP3, 4, 5, and 6 to 1-2. I now have over 20 watts of RF and good control.
