I am using a non-Ten-Tec 6 metre transverter with my Orion (565). The
transverter is fed with a 10 metre signal using the XVTR RF port on the rear
of the Orion.
Everything works well HOWEVER I noticed that, on SSB, I had to increase the
MIC gain from about 17 to 50 to get adequate ALC and appropriate drive?
I would have thought that ALC would not need to be changed when going from
normal transceiver to the use of a transverter? I was curious if anyone
else is using the XVTR RF output and has noticed a similar need to crank up
the MIC gain.
Thanks!
