Don, How about a single capacitor (1-4 pF) from the junction of the crystals and the L33 inductor as in http://www.ac6rm.net/mailarchive/html/elecraft-list/2005-08/msg00562.html? Does that create potential stability problems also? I've got this link on my K2 mods page and just wanted to make sure I can recommend it and keep it there. I have never had any problems with BFO range myself so I have no personal experience with this myself. 73 Sverre LA3ZA http://www.qslnet.de/la3za/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
