Today I started having a PLL 1 problem. I even saw an ERR PL1 show (only) one time
I first noticed it when on 160m. I was on A=1.900 and B=1.895 then I went into Sub..... I can switch from VFO A to B back and forth and all is ok I turn the Sub on With VFO A on 1.900 & VFO B on 1.895 then if I switch A/B the 1st time works then the next time (when I switch back B/A) PLL 1 = *00 It doesn't matter which VFO (A or B) is on 1.900 and which is on 1.895 the failure is always on the 1.895 frequency. If I move VFO A knob the PLL will resync. With Sub on or off.... If I pick any other combination of 160m frequencies separated by 5khz or separated by any amount, or even on the same frequencies. A/B B/A works just fine PLL 1 doesn't lose its sync and give me *00 It works as it should when Sub is *NOT* on! It only fails when Sub is on and only with the 1.900 & 1.895 combination. This was working on previously. Today is the 1st time it has failed. I have rerun the synthesizer calibration on both PLL 1 & 2 === when VFO A is tuned to 1.900 PLL 1 = 3.4 when VFO A is tuned to 1.895 PLL 1 = 3.3 when VFO B is tuned to 1.900 PLL 2 = 2.2 when VFO B is tuned to 1.895 PLL 2 = 2.2 === === PLL 1 varies with turning the dial from as low as 1.6, up to 5.8 PLL 2 doesn't ever seem to vary from 2.2 then again I can't turn VFO B and watch it as I turn but even if I turn VFO B around and then check PLL 2 PLL 2 is always 2.2 when I check it. === any ideas, comments? -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
