Re: [Elecraft] PLL Range test

James,

Listen to Dave, he is 'on target' with his post, and he is now the K2 
'expert'.  But it might be helpful if you post the PLL high and low 
frequencies as well as the range test results.

difference in the high and low reading.

Hello again,

Still building a K2. I got to the PLL reference oscillator range test and did 
have to remove one turn from the toroid.My range at first was 20.6 Khz.
I got it down to 15.38Khz. I am worried if I remove another turn it will be too 
low. I went ahead with the continued testing and all the numbers (test results) 
are good.
I stopped for the night on the BFO alignment.
My questions is, is the 15.38Khz ok or do I need to remove another turn from 
the toroid?
