As usual, my fingers are faster than my brain. If you TURN the VFO knob until the dial reading is 7.0 MHz, starting from an adjacent band, the dial reading may be 7 MHz but the K2 filters, etc., will still be switched to the original band.
Use direct frequency entry to put the whole K2 on 40 meters. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Just a hunch, John, but you can tune to 7.0 MHz without the K2 being in the 40-meter band! If you the VFO knob to 7 MHz with the K2 on an adjacent band the dial reading will keep going, but the K2 filters, etc., are still sitting on the original band. Try "direct frequency entry" to select a 40 meter frequency between 7.0 and 7.1 MHz. If that's the case, doing the direct frequency entry will switch the entire K2 to 40 meters. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ke4d Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 12:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] VFO linearization issue on K2 Ok folks, I got my power problem fixed and am now completing the receiver VFO linearization process before starting on the transmitter. I put the rig on 7.050 cw normal, fl 1 and have my freq counter probe in TP1. I start the CAL PLL and the display starts counting down but then immediately goes to INFO 232. INFO 232 says I am not on 40m but the last time I checked 7.0- plus is pretty much in the 40 m band. Any suggestions?
