Kieth, Are you certain you tuned the receive to a real signal of known frequency on 17 meters? If you tuned it simply by "band noise", it may not actually be tuned for 17 meters.
The Pre-Mixer must be tuned correctly first - you will find the proper position of the trimmer capacitors not far from the initial setting indicated in the manual, if the adjustment settings are more than 20 degrees different than the "perpendicular to the flat end", it is likely wrong and you are about 6 MHz off where things should be. Use a signal of known frequency that is strong enough to be heard in the K1 - another transmitter operating into a dummy load with an 'antenna' wire connected to the K1 BNC center conductor and placed near the dummy load should provide enough injection. Be certain of the tuning for 17 meters before attempting 20 meters - doing it in the reverse order is a sure recipe for frustration. 73, Don W3FPR K Price wrote: > I have the 4 band board with 40, 30, 20 & 17 meters selected.
