k2 alignment and test part 2

[jon howe-2]

I have made it to page 57, "PLL Reference Oscillator Range Test".
My high Freq is 12098.42
low freq is 12085.21
Range = 13.21 kHz
So the range is not between 9.8 and 13 kHz, and I must "refer to
Troubleshooting".
I'm stumped.
To exactly where in the Troubleshooting section are they referring?
Similarly, for the VCO Test, the freq counter reads 10690.74.
It is fairly stable, but not between 8 and 10 MHz.
Again, exactly where in the Troubleshooting section am I supposed to go?
(This refers to Manual Rev E, Feb 16, 2003. s/n is 3460)

Hi Jon,

13.31 kHz is OK. The manual is overly conservative. I think we mention this in
the errata and on our builders web page at:
http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/K2info.html. But in any case, we allow for up to at
least 18 kHz max PLL ref range.
