The second way to select a transverter band is to directly enter the frequency of the desired
operation into the Slice Receiver. For example, entering “1296.” (don’t forget the decimal point to
tell Maestro that we want to go to 1296MHz) will move the Panadapter and Slice to 1296MHz.
To return to an HF band, simply enter the HF frequency that you wish to change to or select the HF
bands with the HF band button.
24.2 MULTIPLE COPIES OF A BAND
In some situations, it may be desirable to have multiple copies of a signal frequency in the radio. For
example, if you have a high power 144 to 28MHz transverter in use on a FLEX-6700, the radio will not
know whether to tune to the internal 144MHz band or to the external transverter. This ambiguity is
resolved in two ways: First, if the band is selected using the band buttons, the radio will always know
which band to switch to. In the event that direct frequency entry is used, the following rules are used
to select the band of operation:
• If the Panadapter is currently in a band that would match the entered frequency, Maestro
remains on the current band.
• The most recently used band that matches the frequency entered will be selected.
Example:
• The current Panadapter is tuned to 50.125MHz
• There is an external 144 to 28MHz transverter on a FLEX-6700 with an internal 2m band
• The most recently used 144MHz band is the external 144-28MHz transverter
• A direct frequency entry of “144.2” is typed
• The radio will select the external 144-28MHz transverter and tune to 144.200MHz
• The Panadapter will clearly indicate the selected band by placing a “144” (or whatever name
was given to the transverter band) in the upper right of the Panadapter If this is not the
desired result -- if you intended to switch to the internal 2m band -- just use the Band
selection to switch to this band in the Panadapter. At this point, the radio will switch to the
correct band and it will become the “favorite” band next time a direct frequency is entered.
24.3 TRANSVERTER POWER SETTINGS
The operation of the RF power slider in Maestro is set by the Max Power setting in the transverter
setup. Setting the RF power slider to 100 will set the power to the Max Power setting. The zero
setting will shut off all RF power from the transverter port. A setting of 1 results in a power 20dB
below the max power. For example, if a Max Power setting of +5dBm was configured, the slider “0”
position will be no power, “1” will be +5dBm - 20dB = -15dBm. The 50% setting on the slider will be
+5dBm - 10dB = -5dBm.
