Move your power supply about 2 feet Northwest.

hello,
Using a general coverage receiver to listen to bfo and
vco, the bfo is stable. The VCO is stable on ssb but
the VCO clicks chirps and fm on cw.
Any suggestions?

Buzzy on transmit and raspy sidetone for me means check RFC15 that's
mounted on the bottom of the main board. It's probably open.

Well I made it to the second alignment stage. I found that plugging the
headphones into the headphone jack and not the key jack works much better
for testing ;)

All tests passed with flying colors and the receiver perked right up using
my K2 on a dummy load for a signal source. I'm listening to shortwave on 40m
right now but gave it a brief brush w/ cw, too. That filter is nice!
But...of course! It's an Elecraft...

The receiver is hotter than a firecracker...glad I've got that RF Gain
control! Knowing Wayne's backpacker bent, mostly likely designed for a wire
hung in a coconut tree instead of that 3 element quad on 20m :)

Anyway, I'll probably just let it sit here and cook for awhile...I'm having
too much fun toolin' around the bands (all 2 of 'em!!)...
