ERR PL1/2:
VPLL out of range on band change (to view actual PLL voltage, set CONFIG:
TECH MD to ON, then tap [DISP] and use VFO B to locate the PLL1 and PLL2
voltage displays).
Verify that the oscillator can on the KREF3 is fully plugged in and is not
in backwards. Make sure all internal cables are plugged in, specifically the
cables between the KREF3 and KSYN3 modules (synthesizers). Try
re-calibrating the applicable VCO (CONFIG:VCO MD) (tap SUB within the menu
entry if you saw ERR PL2, to make sure you¹re calibrating the sub receiver¹s
synthesizer). If this doesn¹t work, try removing the 2nd synthesizer (for
the sub receiver), and set CONFIG:KRX3 to NOT INST. If this eliminates the
error, the sub synth may be defective. You can also try swapping it with the
main synth to see if it can be calibrated in this slot.
