Elecraft K2 with No K60XV
This setup uses the K2’s antenna port for both the transmit and receive
signal path to the transverter. The K2 must be equipped with an auxiliary
input/output either through a KIO2 interface or the one built into the
KPA100 amplifier.

Place a shorting block on 2-pin jumper JP8 (near the ON/OFF switch
on the RF PCB) and verify that there is no shorting block on JP7.
Locate front panel PCB 2-pin jumper, JP1, at the end of the socket-
mounted controller IC. Verify that there is no shorting block on this
jumper. (Do not confuse this JP1 with JP1 on the RF PCB.)
Refer to Transverter Control Cable on page 11 to make up a new
transverter control cable or to add connections for the transverter to your
existing Aux I/O cable.
Connect the cables as shown in Figure 4.
