Mike and all, There is a note in the "What's New" section of the Elecraft Builder's Resource webpage that says a PLL Range of 8.8 to 18 kHz range is OK. It seems that information has not made it into the Errata pages yet, butr I expcet it soon.
As I understand things, a narrow PLL range is better than a wide one - the PLL reference will be more stable. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'm building my first K2, purchased about two months ago, and I've hit > a little bump during alignment and test (part 2). > > During the PLL Reference Oscillator Range Test I came up with too > narrow a range (9.37 kHz somewhat below the 9.8 minimum)).
