[Elecraft] Alignement and Test part II - VCO Test not reading 8 to 10 MHZ range.

On K2 serial 7168, I measure in the 12,000 MHz range. If this can be of useful info, in the VFO Alignement Test, there is no voltage at R30 and the R30 value doesn't change upon L30 position. Thanks, Mario -VA2EK. - Thanks, 73's Mario. -- View this message in context:

Mario, I assume no voltage is equal to zero volts, which is a perfectly valid voltage measurement. I know it is a subtle point, but such clarity is important for successful troubleshooting. A zero volts indication at the left end of R30 is an indication that the VCO/PLL circuits are trying

Don, Once again you have pin pointed me to the right direction. C72 was the issue, I had put in a 27uF instead of a 270uF capacitor. Changed over the capacitor and everything became normal. Don't know if we can attribute this to being a rookie in building kits, in any case I will make changes
