I did some playing with numbers in the VFO resonant circuit, and I am

OK, let's back up to U4 and U6 for a bit. Set the K2 to 7100 kHz and
tell me the voltages at U4 pin 13. U6 pin 6 and U6 pin 7.

Jeremy,
That 5 volts at U4 pin 13 is higher than normal, and is the reason you
do not have any control over the frequency of the VFO.
Make certain the path from the VFO output through C62 to U4 pin 4 is
intact with good soldering all the way. Check the value of C62 (0.01
uF marked 103).
C62 is correct, and the path is intact. Reflowed the solder on all
connections just to be sure.
U4 readings are as follows
Pin1 = 0.111
Pin2 = 0.339
Pin3 = 0.006
Pin4 = 2.363
Pin5 = 4.99
Pin6 = 4.99
Pin7 = 4.99
Pin8 = 4.99
Pin9 = 0.001
Pin10 = 0.001
Pin11 = 0.000
Pin12 = 0.000
Pin13 = 5.029
It has been many years since I sat down to a Collins 75-S3. So long that

I am only interested in the quality of the receive
audio. Of course there is no DSP, memories, and
Bill, I don't have a Collins but...the poor man's Collins aka the

down. Couldn't afford a Collins back in the 60s and *still* can't
afford one today!!!
So I started tracing back and checking joints and reflowing solder. I now
have 0.760 @ pin8, 0.000 @ pin 13, and 0.00 @ pin 15.
R30 is now showing 8.04V, but 40M is reading in the 13000khz range, with L30
able to adjust frequency but not voltage.
I'm thinking I may need to add back in the turn

The DC voltages at U4 pins 1 and 2 are suspicious. The voltage at pin 5
is from the MCU digital outputs, so I would not be to concerned about it
just yet. However, compare the voltage at U4 pin 5 with the voltage at
U7 pin 2 - that is the same signal, and the voltages should be the

You are making progress.
That is a good indication that you have resolved the problem.
Yes, add back turn 16 of T5 and things should come into normal.
Hint - you may still have to spread/compress the T5 windings, but as an

Thanks Don,
I'll rewind T5 and see where that gets me.
U4 pins 1 and 2 are still low (no change), and U7 pin2 and U4 pin5 are
equal. Do you still suspect there may be an issue with U4?

I finally decided to buy the general coverage bandpass module for the K3.
Pretty cheap, when you consider the cost of a good receiver.

Since you now have 8 volts at the left end of R30, I would wait and see

voltages at U4 pins 1 and 2. Those voltages are partially a result of

Phil,
Buy a K3 with KBP3 option or a KX3, but don't put it into Transmit - you
will have a superb general coverage receiver.
If you are looking for a lower cost because the transmit capability is
not present - I would say probably not.

Rewound T5 and now I seem to be back at square 1.
U4 pin13 is high again @5.029V when tuned to 7100khz.
R30 is back to 0.02V
40M is at 11351.25
L30 still changes frequency.
The VCO test at 4000.10 results in 7794.5 @ TP1.
U7 pin2 and U4 pin5 are both 4.99V.

While you sleep on it, think back to whatever caused he R30 voltage to
