I've got the base K2 # 5422 built - and am doing the "Alignment & Test, Part III" - Receiver Pre-Alignment, Transmitter Alignment (page 74):
The difficulty I'm finding: It seems like the whole testing and "peaking" adjustment, is based on BAR GRAPH 10-LED Display and tweaking the various L1/L2, L3/L4, C21/C23, L8/L9, L10/L11, C32/C34, L12/L13, and C44/C46. There seems to be so much slop in the various L core adjustment - one can turn one of the L's - and the LED Display changes little or flickers side to side. An analog display, or meter would seem so much more accurate. It almost seems like one could mis-adjust L3, or any of them - by as much as a 1/2 turn - based solely on what the flickering of the 10-LED display looks like. Is there a better way of peaking and checking, when I attempt this? I've gone thru this process twice. On 40 - I can copy CW and some SSB sigs too.
