I got several replies to my query. I have tried reloading the latest released firmware, checking the REF and SYN PCBs for shorting and reseating the oscillator in its socket. All with no improvement. The PLL1 voltage goes above 7 volts in the upper end of 40 meters, and the relays switch several times as I tune across 40 meters. The only suggestion I haven't tried is spreading the turns on the toroid. Is that my only option at this point? Thank you.

The rig seems to power up OK, but returns error messages when I do the Synthesizer Calibration. It returns Err VCO with E 00374 data and/or ERR VC4 with E 00039 data. I checked the seating of the oscillator, the KREF3 and KSYN3 modules and the three TMP cables, but the results are the same. What is going on and what can I do? Thank you. 73, Phil Shepard NS7P
