Dennis,
I use my Omni VI Opt3 as an IF (10M) interfaced with a Yeasu FT-901R
transverter for 6m through 432Mhz. I tried to make it "idiot proof" regarding
drive power and switching. It has worked so far!
I have installed a mini DPDT relay and multi-turn pot in the OMNI that is
energized when the transverter is on. When the relay is de-energized (for HF)
power control of the OMNI is normal --when energized, the multi-turn pot does
the power control for the transverter.

Thanks Guys ... I'd like to make the solution somewhat immune to operator
error, so turning the power down (albeit a workable solution) probably
won't meet the needs - I'm leaning towards building a resistive pad unless
someone has devised a solution where the power can be reduced internally
without intense modifications.
Thanks
