[VHFcontesting] Kenwood TS-940 hookup

[Jeff Berman]

Mike, I’m going to take a shot at your questions, I think the TX output of the transverter Jack is 100mW, so to use this you need separate TX RX on your transverter.  I don’t know what the minimum power output of the TS-940 is with the output power reduced is, but I use a Downeast Microwave AOS-28 on my FT-897 for 222 Mhz.   You can run 25 watts into the AOS-28 off the main coax connector on 10 meters and it attenuates to 100 mW output, 5 watts gives you 20mW.  The transverter jack on the 940 has a +12 at 50ma on it you can drive a small relay to ground on xmit to key your transverter.

I have a few questions about running a TS-940 with a transverter. I have used many radios as if's for transverters but do not understand the 940 manual.
1. how much power is available at the transverter output on the 940?2. pin 4 states to transverter on/off switch?3. pin 8 HF receiving signal?

Thanks in advance. Mike
