I set the VCO voltage at 4.0Mhz to 6.0v with L30. On 40M, the voltage
is 8.31v and does not change as the VCO frequency is varied. All other bands are within range and behave normally. I don't know which relay(s) (K13-K15) or capacitor(s) (C70-C75) may be at fault. Any help appreciated.

Jim,
Do you have the Rework Eliminators installed in that K2? If so, follow the instructions in the RE manual about the additions for the K60XV option. C71 is changed to 120 pF with the RE change or the installation of the K60XV and requires that you set the secondary menu to D19 = Y. After you install the K60XV, you will have to revisit the VCO voltage settings following the instructions in the K60XV manual. 73, Don W3FPR Jim Brown wrote: > I set the VCO voltage at 4.0Mhz to 6.0v with L30.

Thanks Don. I do have the RE installed. This was a fully functional
K2/100 with all internal options that has been in storage for several years. I'm dusting it off and going through it thoroughly, from a factory reset. That explains the D19 = Y problem. It has a couple of other problems, notably bad AGC (can't set up S-Meter LO and HI properly), and "dead" on receive. Step at a time. Thanks again, Don.
