Glenn, As a quick check on your wiring for the LED indicator, short pin 5 of the output connector to ground (pin 4) and you should see the LED turn on. A short at this point will not damage the IC - because it is an open collector output. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - From: "

Steve, If your 'scope will indicate down to 20 mv (I assume that is peak to peak), you should be quite able to use the oscillator shown in the K2 manual - the lowest expected voltage indicated in the manual is 0.27 Vrms at the 2nd Crystal Filter Output and that is 756 millivolts peak to peak.
