RF board RX on 40M

Behiels JeanPierre
Hi K2 members;

I do have assemble RF board part II starting at page 49 of manual
I have done the allignement test (see my previous E-mail around the results)
But I do only have noise from audio amp but do have no any receive sign's on 40M with antenne connected ?
I do ear nothing around 7000.0 Mhz from internal generated signal ??
I do have some questions around jumper settings in this part of build(maby this could reason of no RX ?).
After take a quick look on what I momentarly see on the RF board :


J14  open not soldered yet
J13  open not soldered yet
J15  open not soldered yet


W1 no jumper placed yet ?
W2 jumper placed
W3 jumper placed
W5 jumper placed
W6 no jumper placed yet ?

I hope you could give me some small hints,must be a stupidy,I do have follow the building manual strictly ?


Regards Jean ON4AEF.

Jean,

It will not receive signals until you install jumpers W1 and W6.  In
addition you must install the 4.7pF capacitor between pins 1 and 3 of
J15.  Normally that capacitor is soldered on the bottom of the board.
