I guess I said it wrong - I was referring to the VCO Test in Part 2 for the
RF Board. After the PLL Reference Oscillator Test, I changed bands to 80
meters and was about to adjust frequency to 4000.10 when the Info 080
message popped up again. As I stated, when using CAL FCTR the frequency I
Well I thought I was going to be coming on to post what I'd found with the
VFO problem...but now, the Info 080 is back. As far as the VFO, I
discovered that if I removed the two screws that connect the control board
and front panel board (so that they're not drawn snug to each other), the
VFO
I can't really say for sure that every one of my soldering connections is
perfect, there may be one or a couple in there that are still flaky (which
is all it would take, obviously). However as far as I can tell, I don't
have a consistent problem with soldering. The connections are all shiny,
Ok, some news to report!
First off, I checked all suggested solder points and basically reheated them
all just to be sure, although none really seemed suspect. Figured might as
well give them a once over. Started the radio up again and no change...was
about to sleep on it again, then figured it
Ok that's what I'd thought about the resistance value there - the note (on
Info 080 troubleshooting, in builder resources) had said that the resistors
should be 470 ohm, and that the range should be 900-1000 ohm. However all
through the manual those resistors are referred to as 100 ohm, which is
I will check and reheat soldering points as suggested, probably later this
evening when I'm back home from work, and post how things go. Thanks for
the quick suggestions!

Hi all -
Started build of my K2 a few weeks back and have been slowly progressing. I
must say I'm not an overly experienced builder - I've built a number of
smaller kits, the largest being an MFJ shortwave regen receiver and one of
the Ice Tube clocks you can find online - but all of my builds
