K2 VCO

Dave Lindsay-2
Hello All

I have started carrying out Alignment and Test, Part2 & have hit a snag.

It says that the frequency reading in the VCO test should be in the 8 to
10 MHz range. Mine is stable at 7.726MHz & the manual says refer to
troubleshooting. Where in troubleshooting?

Also I don't read 6V at R30 when tuning L30. Voltage seems to be in mV &
doesn't change. Should I examine all the parts surrounding the VCO?

Dave Lindsay,  GM4HQF

Dave,

Your best chance is to look carefully at the thermistor board - such
problems usually originate there - it is easy to create a solder bridge on
that small board.  You can often spot it by removing the front panel and
control board and peek at the solder side of the board - if not, removal is
the best way to check it, but then you have to solder on new wires to
re-install it.
