PLL Reference Oscillator out of spec

[kl7r]

I have completed Allignment and Test, Part II
I need help with the PLL Reference Oscillator

Range Test:
Ref High Freq  12098.1
Ref Low Freq   12092.56
Range (kHz)      6.35

Which is out of spec.
The Rev E and Rev F books say minimum of 9.8 khz

I am using a single XTAL at X1/X2
(ECS V 12.09-S KOREA G0)
I am using a shielded 10mh at L31)

Rev B boards.  Rev E manual

The rig works on receive on 40 meters FB

I dont have the K2 Temperature-Compensated PLL Reference Upgrade.
How much does that Upgrade cost?

KL7R
Was Ser #1938 (unbuilt - then upgraded to rev b boards)
Now Ser #3373

Mike;
That is way out of spec.  Make sure you all of the components installed in
the correct location.  Double check that you go the varactor diodes in the
right location; this circuit uses two different types.  Also check the DC
voltage on the varactor diodes to make sure it varies from 0 to 8 volts.  If
everything checks out okay, ask Gary to send you a new crystal and check
that one out.
