XV50: Off by 2.3 KHz

[JT Croteau]

Finished building and testing my XV50 a few days ago and just raised
the antenna this afternoon.  I have a zero-beat ofthe local beacon at
50066.60 MHz but the owner of the beacon assures me it is transmitting
on 50064.30 MHz.

Lacking any testing equipment, what can I do to better align this?  I
am pretty certain the K2 is properly aligned with WWV @ 10 MHz.

Thanks

Hi JT:

Check your construction manual on the XV50 - I believe there is a
variable capacitor that is used to set your frequency. This is in your
XV50, not the K2. I built my XV50 this past Spring and it works well.
Now I'd love to build an amplifier for it ! Maybe the KPA800 / 1500 will
come along soon.

There is an offset adjustment in the K2 menu for the transverter setup
that may help you out.
