Happy new year all!
I am looking at the PLL Frequency Stability at 7182 kHz sheet which says "Alternately insert the internal counter probe into TP1 (VCO) and TP3 (PLL reference oscillator) and make sure they indicate the same frequency (in the 12 mHz range)." Here are my frequencies: TP1: 12092.59 TP3: 12097.64 That is a differenct of 5.05. Is this okay, or do I have a problem? If it is a problem, what should I do about it? I already recalibrated C22 on the control board and ran the VFO linearization. Thanks for your help! 73, Vron Jones, WD0EFQ __________________________________________ Yahoo!

Vron,
I believe you are misreading the instruction. The point where the VCO and PLL cross the same frequency is the point you are looking for, it will be somewhere near 7182kHz. So adjust the VCO until the frequencies at TP1 and TP3 are the same and then observe the frequency on the K2 display - this is the crossover frequency for your particular K2. If I may make a suggestion - make all the changes that are listed whether or not you observe a problem. I have done that on all upgrades that I have performed and have yet to find a problem with it. Of course, if you want to minimize the components changed, do as the instructions suggest and stop when you have eliminated the problem. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Happy new year all! > I am looking at the PLL Frequency Stability at 7182 > kHz sheet which says "Alternately insert the internal > counter probe into TP1 (VCO) and TP3 (PLL reference > oscillator) and make sure they indicate the same > frequency (in the 12 mHz range)." > Here are my frequencies: > TP1: 12092.59 > TP3: 12097.64 > > That is a differenct of 5.05. > Is this okay, or do I have a problem? > If it is a problem, what should I do about it? > > I already recalibrated C22 on the control board and > ran the VFO linearization. > > Thanks for your help! > 73, > Vron Jones, WD0EFQ > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
