I attached a cliplead to the antenna jack of my station receiver and
dropped a loop of it inside of my K1. I could hear local oscillators at 40 meters 15.003 30 meters 17.997 20 meters nothing heard at 22 mhz 17 meters 26.048 so I pulled out the 22 mhz xtal from the KFL1-4 board and put it in my test oscillator and heard nothing in my test oscillator. Im thinking part or all of the problem is that my 22mhz died for some reason. I saw that KL0WN on Kodiak Island had the same problem, Ill send him a note and order a new 22mhz xtal.

Sounds like a bad 20 meter crystal to me.

Mike,
I did the same test for oscillation from each crystal some time back but double checked them again after reading your posting. Same results as I had in the past. I hear a faint signal for the 20 meter crystal. I'd say maybe about 1/4 the audio heard from this 20 meter crystal compared to the other three crystals. The 15, 30, and 40 meter crystals all oscillated at the same audio level while listening with another rig. 40m 15003.0 mhz 30m 18097.0 mhz 20m 21997.0 mhz (faint signal heard) 15m 28996.0 mhz I wonder if Elecraft had a bad bunch of 22.000 mhz crystals delivered to them? Guess I'll contact Elecraft and obtain another 22.000 mhz crystal for the 20 meter band. Let me know if you come up with something different. 72, Greg KI8AF At 22:10 09/12/2006, you wrote: >I attached a cliplead to the antenna jack of my station receiver and >dropped a >loop of it inside of my K1.
