I am in the process of building my next K1. I have built several of these great little radios. I'm just beginning the RF board. Does anyone have any tricks or tips that will help minimize VFO drift? Brent WB4X __ Elecraft mailing

Thanks, Greg. Good observation. Since I only use the K-3, I'm SO2V. With or without the A makes no difference. I'll try putting this problem on the N1MM reflector... maybe someone over there knows how to config N1MM properly. I think that's where the problem is. 73, Jim

Oleg, It does not look like the pattern is related to the 2 tone test, but is at a much lower frequency - perhaps related to your AC line frequency. Are you powering the base K2 from a power supply different from that used on the KPA100, then check that supply for ripple. Even if you are
