RX Only: Enable this if you do not want to transmit through your transverter. It will lock-out the

transmit capabilities in Maestro.

IF Freq (MHz): the IF frequency that corresponds to the RF frequency previously entered. Currently

Maestro only understands high-side injection, so the IF frequency must be below the LO frequency

of your transverter.

LO Error (Hz): If your radio’s local oscillator is off-frequency by a known amount, enter that amount

here and Maestro will make the proper adjustments to properly read transmit and receive

frequencies in Maestro. If you are using a GPS or 10MHz locked transverter, this number should be

set to zero.

Max Power (dBm): Enter the IF input power level to the transverter to achieve maximum output

power of the transverter. This will limit the output power that Maestro allows to be provided to the

transverter. This value may be up to +15dBm for IF frequencies below 80MHz and up to +8dBm for

IF frequencies above 135MHz (default: 0dBm). The value set in this field, should match the power

output when the RF Power slider is set to 100. The lower end (values near 1 on the RF Power slider)

will be approximately 20dB lower than the Max Power setting.

Note: This power range may be different than using the IF frequency directly (i.e. not using the

XVTR RF frequency).

RX Gain (dB): this field is optional but will correct the receive signal level reading in the Panadapter

and Slice Receivers. To properly set this, you should enter the IF gain for the transverter. If you do

not know this value, ask your transverter manufacturer. If you do not have this number available, it

may still be calculated by inputting a known value signal into the transverter, reading the receive

level in Maestro and then adjusting the RX Gain until the values are equal.

Valid indicates that Maestro has enough information to use the transverter which will be set

automatically by Maestro and the FLEX-6000.

When operating in a Transverter band the Transverter name will appear in the top right corner of the

Panadapter as shown below:
