bizarre 30m ---> 20m K1

[Lloyd Lachow-2]

My new 30-40m K1 arrived, and it seems to work well...EXCEPT:

When switching from 40 to 30, tapping BAND shows first 10, then 150, than
50.0, for 10150.0. But the RBN showed that it's transmitting on 14050!

How can this be. This transmitter is on 20. 10131 = 14031.

help

If RBN shows you are on 20m you are on 20m.  You must have a 40/20 board.  Enter the menu, B2 and change it from 1o to 14.

RBN doesn’t lie often.

It can if someone feeding RBN feeds an in correct frequency.

A small frequency counter is good thing to have around. Hook a simple
antenna to it and transmit a carrier. MFJ sells one for about $125.

These are available and are adequate for general ham radio use. They are
$10.21 each + $3.50 shipping.  Worth having just to look at.

Lloyd,

Take a look at the crystals on the 2 band board.  The crystal for 40m
will be 15MHz, the one for 30m will be either 18.0 or 18.1 depending on
whether you have the 150kHz or 80kHz VFO tuning range.  The crystal for
20m is 22MHz.

73,
Don W3FPR
