To engage SPLIT mode, hold the [SPLIT] switch (above the VFO A
knob).
When SPLIT mode is selected:
• VFO B becomes the transmit VFO, as indicated by the TX icon and its
arrow
• the SPLIT ON icon turns on
• the yellow delta-F LED (∆f) turns on
INTERNAL & EXTERNAL TRANSVERTERS
The K4 provides 12 programmable transverter bands. Each can be configured
for the desired RF band edge (0-99999 MHz), IF (0-53 MHz), mode (off,
external, or internal), and oscillator/multiplier chain correction (+/- 99.999
kHz).
To access transverter bands, tap <BAND> followed by <XVTR>. This brings up
an array of 12 transverter band select buttons. Each button shows its
programmed lower band edge in MHz.
External transverter bands obtain their transmit drive from the K4's
XVTR OUT jack. They can use either RX ANT 1 or XVTR IN for receive.
(Also see Dual Transverter Operation, below).
Internal transverters use the ANT4 jack for both transmit and receive.
To configure transverter bands, use the XVTR menu entries. The first
XVTR menu entry (XVTR Band # Select) is used to specify which of the
12 bands is being configured. This is then applied to the remaining
XVTR menu entries. Transverter bands whose mode selection is OFF
will have their band buttons disabled.
When an external transverter band is in use, both the PWR knob
function and the RF power output scale change to mW. Max power
output at XVTR OUT is then 5 mW (+7 dBm).
