Hi Don, OK, the tests are underway.
Key down signal @ pin 4, U10: 80m; 0.058 160m; 0.055 Key down signal @ pin 6, U9: 80m; 0.205 160m; 0.695 Key down signal @ W6: 80m; 0.025 160m; 0.018 Key down signal @ D1 anode: 80m; 0.023 160m; 0.016 I remember a thread a long time ago about what is considered a "normal" reading, and I recall that range of what was considered acceptable was much larger than I would have thought. Thus, I will leave the interpretation of this data to you, with my thanks! 73 - Ken --- Don Wilhelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ken, > > That frequency is considered very close to the > nominal value - the VCO > frequency is not the problem. > > Now, you are in for some Transmit Signal Tracing on > 160 meters.
