PLL range (L31)

[Mike Markowski]

My K2 passed the PLL range test with 9.84 kHz, so it juuust surpasses
the 9.8 kHz lower limit and seems fine after some initial testing on
160m.  But while I have the radio pulled apart building the 100 W stage,
would it be worthwhile replacing L31 to get more comfortably in the
middle of the PLL range?  Or "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Thanks very much,
Mike  AB3AP

Mike;
The recommended minimum PLL reference range of 9.8 kHz provides plenty of
margin for operation on 160 meters.  There is no need to increase it beyond
that range.
