I'm just at the point of testing the PLL Reference Oscillator Range as well and am measuring 9.11 kHz. This is low compared to the spec of 9.8 to 15 kHz per the manual. Before I proceed to much farther, is 9.11 kHz okay as is? Should I be getting a 12 uH replacement L31 as well? What is the downside of leaving it as is?

Hi all.

K2 #4785 is well under way no major problems yet.
my kit was supplied with inductor L31 10uh.
but due to xtal not being 'rubber' enough ref Gary at support,
to give me the correct pll range.
I am waiting on a replacement for L31 with a value of 12uh
The manual states a prefered range of 9.8  to 15kHz my range was  9.06.
I have noticed on the elecraft website under builder resource(after removing part grrr)
that a range of 8.8 to 18kHz is ok, can someone explain these values,
oh by the way I have cut out and destroyed in the process the 10uh choke so I have to wait for replacement, comments on cutting out parts before replacements arrive
would not be helpfull at this stage i know im a fool hi.
The big question is did I need to worry in the first place
looking forward to replys.
