True, but the Orion II manual says that you can adjust the output to the
transverter only from +5 to +15 dBm, and the FTV-1000 needs only -13 dBm
for full output. The Yaesu transverter may operate a bit differently
from others, as the 28 MHz drive is supplied through a separate cable
from the transceiver's transverter output jack and the PA stage of the
driving Yaesu transceiver is turned OFF in a menu item. I see that you
can turn the transmitter off in an Orion TX menu item, but I'll bet that
also disables the transverter drive output jack on the Orion.

The transverter output level on the Orion is controlled by the Orion
drive level. You can reduce the Orion drive to match what the
transverter needs.

Has anyone here used the Yaesu FTV-1000 transverter with an Orion? I
see the Orion II transverter output level is a bit high compared to the
transverter input spec. Any other concerns?
