Benny, R116 is supposed to be a very high value resistor - in fact, it would be best if it were actually an insulator, but 5.1 megohms is sufficiently high to serve that purpose. The only reason the resistor is provided is that it produces both a mounting anchor for L33 and its leads provide a place to solder the fine wires.
It sounds like you have a bad L33 or one end that is not actually soldered. Make certain the tinned part of the very fine wire is actually soldered to the lead of R116. If it is well soldered, request a replacement L33 from parts(at)elecraft(dot)com. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/4/2010 8:03 PM, kruegerbenny wrote: > Hi, > > grounding of L33 doesn't bring the expected signal (7.xMHz).
