[hpsdr] HPSDR / Transverters

Bill 

with band set to 10m(28.100MHz), with pa set to 38.0, with tune set to 100% 
i measure 0.4W at the output of mercury when i press the tune button. 

if i go into the transverter form and for band button = 3, set button 
text=432, lo offset=404.0, begin=432MHz, end=434MHz rx gain = 0, power=100 

i choose tune with power=100 i get no output from penny 

if i click on the "xverter rf tx" box  i measure no output from penny 

if i click "use xverter power for tune" i measure no output from penny 

if i choose button 0 and build it for 2m i get the same result 

If i tune to 432.380MHz on the powersdr screen i do receive the local w5hn 
beacon. (even though adjusting the rx gain in xverter form has no effect on 
the rx level). 

just that penny does not produce any rf output when an xverter band is 
chosen 

hope that is enough info
