24.1 USING A TRANSVERTER
There are two ways to tune to a transverter. The first way is to use the band select panel in the Slice
Receiver Menu. Open the control panel and then tap the XVTR button at the lower right of the band
selection buttons. The band selection buttons will change to a set of buttons that correspond to the
defined transverter bands, as shown below. Tap the transverter band you wish to use. The buttons
in the panel use the name of each transverter specified in the transverter setup form.
When the band button for a transverter is tapped, the radio will change the frequency of the
Panadapter to the transverter frequency. In the image below (taken from a SmartSDR for Windows
session) you can see that we are now on 1296.0MHz and there is now a band indicator in the upper
left of the Panadapter that indicates that we are on the 1296 transverter.
The FLEX-6000 is actually receiving on the programmed IF frequency and performing a frequency
translation in the Slice and the Panadapter to indicate the frequency being listened to.
If you have more than one transverter on the same band, you can name them differently and then
access them with different transverter buttons. Each transverter band behaves just like an HF band
in that it remembers settings used for that band. If you were to change frequency to 1296.1, Maestro
will remember that this is the last frequency used on the 1296 transverter band. All other features
of Maestro including multiple Slices, wide bandwidth views of the spectrum, etc. are all available on
the transverter band.
