Mike,
The K1 must tune a bit below the low end of each band. That is to
compensate for the crystals on the band board not being precision
crystals - so your K1 is behaving as normal.
You CAN tweak it by a small amount on ONE band (the 2nd band will change
too).
In your case, I would
I think what you are seeing is probably typical. I have a K1-4 that tunes down
to 6988 and 13982 on 40 and 20 respectively. My tuning range is a little wider
at 93 kHz.
The Owner’s Manual has a detailed section on VFO alignment. If you didn’t get a
manual with the radio you can probably
Mine that I built around 20 years ago tunes:
40m 6999.9 - 7088.820m 13994.2 - 14083.4
See page 28 of the manual. The tuning range depends on the value of C2. The
range can be further adjusted by the number and spacing of turns on L1.
It would be a good idea to go through a complete alignment
Just bought a K1..an oldie but a goodie, I guess.
NB board and 2 bands board (20/40) No tuner.
So, just playing around, getting familiarized with this new-to-me little rig
before transmitting or hooking it up to a real antenna and I notice:
on 20m: it tunes from 13.974MHz - 14.063MHz
