Non-Elecraft 28 MHz Rig – Separate Transmit and
Receive RF Connections
This setup is for any 28 MHz rig capable of providing separate transmit
and receive connections. The transmitter must be capable of providing a
variable RF output of up to 1 milliwatt, 251 milliwatts or 5 watts, and
provide a key line that will ground a 5 volt logic level on transmit.
Figure 5. Connecting the Transverter to a Non-Elecraft 28-MHz Rig
with Separate Transmit and Receive RF Paths.
On the transverter RF PCB, set all four DIP switches to OFF.
Place 2-pin shorting blocks on the transverter RF PCB jumpers
shown below:
_ JP1: 1-2 _ JP2: 2-3 _ JP9: 1-2
From the options below, choose the power output from your 28 MHz
rig that will drive the transverter to full output. Place 2-pin shorting blocks
on the corresponding RF PCB jumpers as shown:
28 MHZ DRIVE LEVEL FOR
FULL TRANSVERTER OUTPUT
JP3 JP4 JP5 JP6
1 milliwatt 1-2 1-2 2-3 2-3
251 milliwatts 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2
5 watts 2-3 2-3 1-2 1-2

Take care not to exceed the maximum power level you set up
the transverter for in the previous step. Doing so may result in
damage to the transverter.
Place a shorting block on 2-pin jumper JP7 (near the ON/OFF switch
on the RF PCB) and verify that there is no shorting block no JP8.
Place a shorting block on front panel PCB 2-pin jumper JP1 at the
end of the socket-mounted controller IC. (Do not confuse this JP1 with
three-pin jumper JP1 on the RF PCB.)
Connect the cables as shown in Figure 5.
Connect a 13.8 VDC, 6 ampere power supply to the transverter using
the cable equipped with an Anderson connector
