Regrettably (hi), the emitter resistor is fine - very close to nominal. wish I had a crystal to substitute, but I don't, so maybe I need to get one from Elecraft - or just hang up the whole thing and get an XG-2.
Thanks for thinking about this, Don. I hope people don't mind my continuing this on the list - I thought the archive might be useful to someone facing the same problem later on. 73, Pete N4ZR At 09:28 AM 1/30/2009, Don Wilhelm wrote: >Pete, > >Have you measured the emitter resistor (R2)?
