All DEMI transverters contain the operating band within the part number, i.e., L23HP equates to the 23 centimeter band. (1260-1300 MHz) Since this is the first transverter design that has a user selectable IF frequency, we simply indicate what the transverter is “Set For”...

“Configuration Options” section later in this manual or consult DEMI with your issue. If you have configured a DEMI transverter before, use the following steps as a guideline to complete your transverter install. If not, the following steps may be lengthy but are basically simple.
Remove the bottom cover plate of the transverter leaving the exposed circuit board facing “Up” After connecting the DC power cable to the power supply of choice, connect the DC POWER to the transverter. It is a twist lock. 13.8 volts is optimum but the transverter will operate normally from /Built/L23HP.doc 12/27/2017...

TX circuit. The rest is absorbed in the dummy load but will radiate within the enclosure. After the transceiver power is adjusted, power off the transceiver and reconnect the IF cable to the antenna port. /Built/L23HP.doc 12/27/2017...

If you are using a High Power IF drive through the antenna connector, do not assume the output power level is set to low. Verify all possibilities before increasing the output power of the transceiver. If all fails, consult DEMI with your issues before increasing the drive power beyond 10 watts.

MAR3 or any MMIC that will produce around 13dB gain operating at +5VDC at the IF frequency. If more gain is required, A high gain MMIC will work with inputs as low as -20dBm. To /Built/L23HP.doc 12/27/2017...

IMPORTANT NOTE: When re-testing, do not assume that since your output power of the transverter is low that it is because you do not have enough IF drive. Please consult DEMI if you have problems obtaining full output power with your new specified drive level.
