Greetings All, Finished up the 60meter module, and ran into a "hitch" during the 40/60 meter alignment (p. 13).
VCO voltage at R30 was only 0.87 volts at 5300. At 5450, VCO was > 1.0 volts. Re-checked the VCO numbers for other bands, and at 4.0 MHz, the Voltage was at 6.0 volts. After checking components (OK), and solder joints (OK), and perusing the archives, arrived at the decision to adjust L30 to get the 1.0 volt (minimum) at 5300. I then checked other VCO values for the band(s) edges, and the max VCO was 7.0 volts at 4.0 MHz. L30 was adjusted about 1/4 turn clockwise (about where the factory had it, originally). It _appears_ that this set up is OK based upon what I read in the archives, although no one has commented on this problem with addition of the K60XV. Comments? Questions? Is My K2 Ruined (IMK2R) ?
