This issue was handled off-line. So, for any lurkers who may have the same question:
1) The tuning slug should be left in L17 on all transverters. 2) If, during alignment, it is found that maximum output is obtained with the slug out of the top of the coil, remove the slug completely. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Two questions about the XV50 transverter, please? 1. The Alignment and Test on Page 25 of the Owner's Manual says the core of L17 (along with L1, L10 and L11) should be removed and discarded as it will not be used. On the following page is a table telling you how to preset the slugs in the inductors for each transverter. For the XV50 it says the slug in L17 should be set two turns down from the top. What page is correct, please? 2. The slug in L13 is cracked and doesn't turn. Any tips on how to remove it without damaging the inductor? If the answer to question 1 is page 25, then I can use the slug from L17 to replace the broken one in L13, otherwise I assume I can use the slug from L1 which appears to be the same size? Thanks for any help and advice. 73 de Chris, N4CJ (G4BUE) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
