10.4 PTT CONNECTIONS
The radio will need to provide a PTT signal to place the transverter into transmit mode.
Most transverters will have a grounded-PTT input. This should be connected to a FLEX-
6000 TX1, TX2 or TX3 output to cause the transverter to transmit. Depending on the design
of the transverter, a weak pull-up may be required.
10.5 SEQUENCERS
In some transverter applications, notably those that include a split RF output, preamplifiers
and/or power amplifiers, a sequencer may be used. The specific details of connecting and
configuring a sequencer are beyond the scope of this document, but the TX1, TX2 or TX3
output from the radio are generally used as an input to the sequencer to allow it to properly
switch and enable/disable each component in your lash-up.
10.6 MULTIPLE TRANSVERTERS
At this time, no band data is provided by the radio and this may provide an effective limit of
one transverter at a time. FlexRadio anticipates adding band data in a later release of
SmartSDR that would assist remote switching hardware in selecting between multiple
transverters.
