Hi Gang -
I'm building my 2nd K2 and am at the point of Alignment and Test, Part II. All of the tests and alignment steps through the VCO alignment have been completed successfully. Everything has been right in the center of the expected parameters. Then I got to the BFO test. I'm getting a reading of 0000.00. Here's what I know so far: D37 and D38 are the correct types and oriented properly. I have measured the resistance across the resistor holding L33 down (or up?) and get a reading of 1.5 ohms, indicating to me that L33 is intact and effectively soldered to the resistor leads. I have checked the positioning of Q24 and it looks correct. The right crystals are installed at X3 and X4 and grounding the cases went smoothly, so I don't think I overheated them. I have reflowed the solder on the parts around the BFO area. A symptom that may or may not mean anything: the S-Meter is showing S5. It was properly adjusted back in Alignment and Testing Part I. What should I do next? Thanks for your ideas and suggestions. 73 Ken K0WKM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
