OM Oreste,

I suggest to contact Kuhne directly in relation to their transverter. They are very helpful.

Hello OM,

On 2m band you can use a RF amplifier designed to work with 6700, much simpler solution.

Kuhne makes them. SSDR manual has a chapter which shows how to setup a converter.

Hi Tom… I checked the Kuhne website and other messages on this forum, and I can't see any direct reference to a Kuhne amplifier capable of working with the 6700's LP output.

Can you point me to the unit you're talking about?

OM Don,

I bought my amplifier some three years ago, maybe it is out of production, but I will check the details and let you know.

thanks for the answers

I checked on the kuhne site I also did not find info or dedicated RF amplifiers.
At the moment I connected BNC XVTR of the 9700 to the Kuhne IF A,
then connected PTT pin 3 of the Flexradio with DC Control.
I drive with 70 w of the flex. I do not know if this is all correct and could cause breakages in long WSJTX transmissions.
thanks

OM Don,

Possibly someone you can find a 2m amplifier here or place a >wanted< advertisement

FA-Kleinanzeigen

if Kuhne does not manufacture them anymore.

hi DON thank you so much for the info, I think I will contact KUHNE and I hope they give me the correct configuration.
I saw the product you recommended, thank you I did not know this product.
I think however that I will try to use the 144PRO transverter because inside there is also a sequencer to drive the antenna preamplifier and PA.

OM Don,

It seems that Kuhne still manufacture 2m hi gain amplifiers for 6700

Tom.. thanks so much. Appreciate it.

It's a little more expensive than the LDPA from Q5, but I'll definitely take a closer look.
