That I have done. I use a DownEast Microwave transverter.
(a) The Transverter RX output goes to the AUX RX antenna on the Omni VI+.
Front panel ANT switching on the Omni takes care of this part.
(b) The main RF output of the Omni, in my case goes to a 2 position coax
switch. One position is used for the normal HF operation.
The 2nd position goes to a home brew 40 dB attenuator built in a pi
configuration.. This attenuator consist of a 15 watt 50 ohm dummy load as
the input R, a 3.0K 1/2 watt series resistor and a 51 ohm 1/2 watt resistor
is on the output. This allows the Omni to operate at 10 to 15 watts output
in TX, ALC is in a good normal range, and overall provide the 1 to 1.5
milliwatt to the RF input of the transverter.
(c) The NO relay contact on the back of the Omni handles the TX/RX
switching.
Hope this helps.
