Andrew, Most of the bandpass filters tune properly with the inductor slugs between 1 1/2 to 4 turns into the coil. If your adjustments are so far out of range that the slugs are either at the top or bottomed out you have a problem.
The problem is either 1) The capacitors in the bandpass filter have incorrect values, or 2) the frequency is not really what it is supposed to be (VFO/Mixer problem). If you were able to find a peak during the receive bandpass filter tuning, the transmit tuning is only a refinement of that receiver tuning and you should find the peak on transmit less than a half turn away. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'm in the process of aligning the transmitter on my K2 #4778. > > The manual says to peak pairs of slug tuned coils and variable > capacitors on the various bands, with the power control set to 2.0 > watts. > > There is no peak as I dial the slug tuned coils around -- just an > increased power in one direction, and decreased power in the other, > until the slug tuned coil either tops out or bottoms out.
