Re: [Elecraft] Local oscillator off on my xv144
In a recent message, W0WFH Bill w0...@yahoo.com writes I need to set the local oscillator frequency on my XV144. When used with the K2, I just changed the frequency display in the K2's menu. But now I want to use the transverter with another radio on 28Mhz an the 144Mhz is 1.5 Khz high in frequency. Now on the XV50 there is a variable capacitor to set the frequency but on the XV144 I find nothing am I overlooking something? Please contact me direct. Why direct, Bill? This is information some of us would like to share. Please copy your replies to the reflector. 73 de David g4DMP -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Local oscillator off on my xv144
Bill, There is no provision for adjusting the LO frequency of the XV144 transverter - unless you have a recent one. Yes, the XV50 and the XV432 do have provisions for adjusting the LO frequency. Newer XV144 transverters have had to change the LO crystal, and L19 was added to the LO circuit - download the new XV assembly and owners manuals and you will see it. L19 will give some adjustment to the crystal frequency. You may want to order the new crystal and L19 and install them in your XV144 to allow the adjustment that you need. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/14/2013 12:08 AM, W0WFH Bill wrote: I need to set the local oscillator frequency on my XV144.

David, Some subscribe to the reflector in digest mode and will ask for a direct response for that reason. I can't speak for Bill's request, just saying that is one possible reason. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/14/2013 9:11 AM, David G4DMP wrote: Why direct, Bill? This is information some of us would like to share.
