I am trying to interface the Elecraft XV series of transverters to the
Penny. I noticed that I am getting just 0.17v on pin 25 of the DB25
connector on the Penny. Looking at the schematic and the board, it
appears that Pin 9 of the ULN2003 is only connected to pin 25 of the
DB25 connector and not connected to V+ at all. Is this correct? Do I
have to apply external power to pin 25 to use the open collector outputs?
On the X2 connector of SDR1K, the collector reference was internally
connected to V+. It appears not be so for the Penny.
Also, I want to use 4 transverters with 28MHz IF. Can these be mapped to
the Penny outputs? I notice that Penny setup only lists bands up to 2m.
