Re: [Elecraft] XG2 Manual
If you find one and/or a schematic I need one too. My XG2 is dead on 20 meters.

[Elecraft] XG2 Manual
Dear Gang: I am giving my XG2 to a friend who restores tube gear. I cannot find the instruction manual on the Elecraft site. Does anyone have a link or a pdf?

[Elecraft] XG2 Manual errors?
I picked up a new XG2 mini-module from the friendly folk at the Elecraft booth at the South-Western Division ARRL Convention here in Riverside CA, this weekend. I suppose I just need a building fix :-) Unless I am missing something, there seems to be a couple of errors in the manual. I am only up to the second page, so I thought I would just check with the group, before I ignore what I think are errors, and just press on regardless. The manual that came with the kit is Rev. D, dated September 6, 2005. (The on-line manual is still Rev. A, dated June 23, 2005, and is clearly an earlier, less complete, version). 1. In the introduction it states that A power-on LED (green) is provided . . . In fact, the LED is red as is correctly noted in the Parts Inventory at the bottom of the page. This is, of course, totally inconsequential. 2. The fifth assembly step on page 2 calls for DMM resistance readings, the last two of which just can't be right, if I understand the schematic at all. It is stated that the junction of C4 and R3 is supposed to read 57-63 k, but it simply reads open circuit. (Surely this is right?!, see schematic: ONLY resis-ters have been soldered in at this point). The same applies to the reading one is supposed to get at the junction of U1 and R1-57-63k. In fact, this junction has no path to ground at this stage. Incorrect readings at these check points could be rather disconcerting to a novice or inexperienced builder. Comparing the XG1 manual with the XG2 manual suggests how this may have come about: the latter manual was produced as a modification of the former one, and some things slipped through that should not have. Is this right? Do I just keep going, or do I need my head read? Thanks and 73 John, N6JW K2/100 #3290 K1 #754 K1 #1642 P. S. The XG2 kit has fewer parts than the XG1 kit, but is $20 more expensive. I imagine it must be the extra two crystals and 3 position mini-rotary switch. As a point of interest, just what does it cost to get fundamental frequency crystals like these made up, anyway? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] XG2 Manual errors?
I didn't even notice the red/green LED, but I did notice the resistance check at C4 R3 and forgot to report it. I came to the same conclusion that you did, the resistance check was wrong, so I just continued. The XG2 works fine. I compared with the XG1 and have the same output levels.
