K144XV Offset is not accurate. WAS: New K144XV module installed no power out..

[RANDY DIDDEL]

Hi all,

I took it all apart again. The TMP cable on the IN side of the KXV3A board was just slightly loose. I should have checked it a 4th time-HI HI

Checked into the Beam-Spinners Weak signal net on 144.200 here in Denver. Net Control has a 9700 and my offset was off and had to tune to 144.199.5 to get everyone in clearly. So, I need to calibrate it-the manual says how to dial in using the factory spec but that number is obviously off. Is there a resource my Google-Fu has not be able to find?

Thanks for the help and 73, everyone.

I can adjust and see drive on the RF meter and it looks like I should be driving it to full power but through a W2 wattmeter into a dummy load, I have zero power out but it does draw about 3.5A when I press and hold the tune button for a very short time. I have triple checked all the TMP cables in and out of the KXV3A board and into the K144XV. I am getting power to the unit and two quick blinks of the LED of the XV when I power on the radio.
