I haven't built mine yet, but the manual states on pg14 that the local oscillator power can be controlled in 3 ways:
LO goes off when power is turned off or K2 (K3) is switched to different band LO is on when power is on and if used with K2, when it's power is on, even if the Transverter band is not selected LO is on whenever 12v is applied to J7 on back panel, regardless of the state of the power or band switches (that's recommended if the crystal oven is installed) 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108 -- It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. -Mohandas K.
