27.1 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 will receive on the programmed IF frequency and perform 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 the settings used for that band. If you were to change the frequency to
1296.1, Maestro would remember that this is the last frequency used on the 1296 transverter
