Good morning, everyone and thank you in advance.
I have had smooth sailing up to page 37 of the Rev. F manual. 1) In the lower right corner of the page the instructions are to tap BAND twice...to change to the next band...and then two or more times to return to 7.0 Mhz. I am setting the radio up for 20 and 15 M. When I follow the instructions the display, which opens up with E42 as expected, switches between 14.0 and 7.0. There is no 15M display. The relays click and are well positioned and what I think is pin 1 and 10 of each relay show continuity while in the circuit. Should I be seeing a frequency for the 15 M band? 2) What issues arise if the VFO is set for 150 instead of 80 kHz? Thanks for your help, Bob Pendergast N5JYW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Bob,
The K1 does not yet know that you have configured the board for 20 and 15 - that is why you see the display for 40 and 20 only (these are defaults in the firmware). You will set the proper band using the menu a bit later when you get to page 39 and do the band assignments. The only issues that I know about in the selection of 80 or 150 kHz range for the VFO is that the tuning rate will be about twice as fast with the 150 kHz range compared with the 80 kHz range - most folks seem to like the 80 kHz range, but it is matter of personal choice and operating preferences. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I have had smooth sailing up to page 37 of the Rev.
