Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

OK, thanks, Don. As I said, I went into this perfectly happy with how the K2 is performing. I have SN 6911 right beside it and find no discernible difference between the two. Both are solid. I just wanted to verify the alignment after 13 years of use and refamiliarize myself with the

Thanks. I did do this. Appreciate the help remembering. Chuck Jack KE9UW Sent from my iPhone, cjack > On Apr 20, 2018, at 8:49 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Chuck, > > If you are referring to the X1/X2 situation rather then the CAL PLL band, > even the rev B boards

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

Chuck and all, Sorry if I confused you.  It is the firmware level, not the upgrades or the board level. Firmware 2.01 and above must do CAL PLL on 40 meters.  That calibrates it for all bands. The early manuals tell you to do CAL PLL on each band, but if the firmware has been updated, the

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

Chuck, If you are referring to the X1/X2 situation rather then the CAL PLL band, even the rev B boards have silkscreen and holes for X2, but X2 is left open.  The BFOMDKT and the Thermistor mod replace X1 and remove X2. The basic A to B mods do not, but those mod kits are a part of the

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

So A to B upgrades but not necessarily the rev B board? Chuck Jack KE9UW Sent from my iPhone, cjack > On Apr 19, 2018, at 11:32 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Erik, > > Your K2 has the A to B updates, do NOT put X2 in! > For Firmware level 2.01 and above, CAL PLL is

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

Erik, Your K2 has the A to B updates, do NOT put X2 in! For Firmware level 2.01 and above, CAL PLL is done only on 40 meters (for all bands). If attempted on other bands, you will get an INFO 232 error. Use the information in the newer manual - the older manual has information *only*

[Elecraft] K2 INFO 232

I have K2 SN 567. I didn't really have a problem with it, but I bought it used in 2005, had W3FPR look at it then, and install latest mods to bring it up to date. Today, I thought it might be time to take a look at alignment, and freshen it up a bit. When I did the "PLL Ref Osc Range Test" in

[Elecraft] K2 INFO 232 error with PLL

On a K2, the freq display is way, way off; e.g., on 40 meters it's really receiving about 0.5 mHz lower. I tried to run CAL PLL but get INFO 232. The PLL process appears to start, momentarily displaying 11,27164 mHZ, then aborts in about a second with the INFO 232 error. I'm absolutely

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232 error with PLL

Dick, With the K60XV installed, do your have the menu for d10 set to Y - i needs to be that way or CAL PLL will fail as you stated. The initial frequency for CAL PLL is in the 12,960 to 12.990 range. Your TP1 reading also says that the frequency the K2 is trying to tune to is near 6350 kHz -

Re: [Elecraft] K2 INFO 232 error with PLL

Don, I changed the setting to Y, and it instantly jumped back on frequency and everything is fine again. As always, I really appreciate your expert and responsive help. Dick, K0KK On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 12:13 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Dick, With the K60XV installed, do

[Elecraft] K2 - Info 232

Hello there Name here is Peder, SM0GNS. I have now started building my K2 (s/n 7234) but have run into some problems. I am in the process of doing the PLL calibration but I receive the INFO 232 when having the VFO at 7.000. I need to put the VFO at 7.1 MHz before I can start the CAL PLL

[Elecraft] K2 - Info 232

I found out what caused the 232-problem. The RIT had moved to one end (+1) instead of being at 0-position. Now the CAL PLL works. 73 de SM0GNS __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

[Elecraft] K2 Info 232 error

Hello everyone,     Well I am to the point of VFO Linearization in my assembly of the K2.  When I attempt the steps I am getting an info 232 error.  I have checked to insure that that I have the freq. probe attached to the correct point and that I am on the correct frequency.  This is the first

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Info 232 error

Jason, During CAL PLL, Error 232 means that the firmware is not properly reading the frequency. Aside from the obvious solutions of not being on 40 meters, and forgetting to connect the counter probe to TP1, It could be an indication that the counter probe is not working properly, or not
