Roland, Are the other bands still the same as they used to be? The high voltage indicates that the PLL is attempting to reduce the capacity of the varactors - which means that there is too much capacity in the VFO circuit somewhere for those bands. Check the value of C73 - it should be marked '4

Roland, I suggest you start by re-checking the VCO voltage readings as specified on page 61 of the manual. At the time they were done, you ahould have had all voltages within range. Ask yourself what has changed in the VCO area since that time - the answer would normally be 'nothing'. You may w

I was told to report back. Ok, I told you-all before that 40 meters wasn't tuning except on the display. Well I thought all the other bands were tuning. Looks like 30 meters isn't tuning around either. I was told by Don to check left on R30. I checked and while tuning noticed that the vol
