Antenna is the Diamond HV-7A and I'm running it barefoot. I have it
running through a duplexer and an antenna switch with a Kenwood TS140S.
The antenna switch switches between HF and 6m, as I've yet to find a
duplexer or triplexer that will split the two.

OK John,
I assume that is mobile (Dakota truck). Are you using any amps?
What antennas?

As the proud owner of a Ten Tec 526 (6n2), I think you will enjoy it
immensely! It's my VHF rig in my Dakota. Now, if I can just find the
matching HF rig (Argonaut V), I'll be set!

Thanks to all for the replies. Looks like I will forego the transverters
and look
for a Ten-Tec 6 n 2 or one of the imports. Just want to get on 2 meter SSB.
Six meters would be a plus.
I would prefer to buy from hams on this list.
tnx, Ed

The XV144 does not have any means of warping the local oscillator on
frequency. Mine is about 4 KHz high. I asked them about this, and they
told me that it is really easy to program the offset into your K2. I
guess, you are supposed to buy one of those too... I do run the XV50
with my Omni V.9. I tried the 0DBm ports on the transceiver, but the
transverter tends to oscillate at that drive level, which wiped out a
set of final transistors in the Mirage brick, so I am using it with the
transmit and receive ports on the transverter separated, and using the
separate TX & RX ports on the Omni. My XV144 has similar RF output
instability problems, but with some assistance from Elecraft tech
support, I have stabilized them enough to be usable. My Omni also has
the QRP power control mod, so I drive the transverter with a few watts
of output. This seems to work pretty well, but I am waiting for the
revised Down East Microwave transverters to ship, and I will order one
of their 6 meter models then. I have run both of the Elecraft
transverters reasonably well with my Argonaut II which has been modified
so that I can hard key them off of the otherwise not used linear
amplifier keying option. On 2 meters, I now use a Kenwood TS790A which
is on frequency, and also gives me 432 MHz capabilities.

Has anyone paired up the Paragon II and Elecraft's XV-144 transverter?
Info on any other combination would be appreciated also.
thanks,
