Hank, Read the K160RX errata sheet - it tells you not to do the CAL PLL on 160 meters.
The display you received is quite normal when attempting CAL PLL on any band except 40 meters, so no harm done. The frequency that is briefly displayed the the frequency of the VCO output (read from TP1). It appears only briefly while the microprocessor is deciding whether the frequency is correct or not (it is incorrect for CAL PLL) and then the Info 232 message is properly displayed to indicate that you tried CAL PLL on something other than 40 meters. There is no need to do an additional CAL PLL, the data for 160 meters has already been stored in the EEPROM. If you choose to do CAL PLL agian, set the 4 MHz reference oscillator just before running CAL PLL. See the information on my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com article on K2 Dial Calibration for the complete procedure and alternatives. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > My construction of the K2 is progressing, SSB and noise limiter are > installed and I installed the 160 M module this afternoon.
