SGlabs Transverter: Questions and Answers

Hello,

Since couple of days my FT818 gives high SWR, I don't change anything at my setup.

I use vox and hear my transverter going in TX and I can hear myself on the sat.

Where do I have to look to solve the problem.

Hi,

I use the vox option, no cable between the radio, I send 1 watt to the transverter, if I'm not mistaken, it can have 5w, so my FT818 cannot damage the internal attenuator ?

Thanks for answer.

The High Swr issue was coming from a faulty rear socket on my new FT818. Even with a dummy load - 50 Ohm, I got high SWR. So I looked further to the radio, the power output was 8 to 9 watt, no chance to change the power to a low power settings, the front socket had no high swr reading, but the power issue was still there, even on HF the power was so high. Did send the 4 weeks old radio back to the shop. I hope I get a swap.

I was lucky also, no damage to the transverter and the amplifier. But at the moment no qso's on QO-100. 73 - Rudi - ON7CL
