Thanks, Don Wilhelm, your intuition was correct: I installed a 120pF capacitor at C12. When I replaced it with the correct 1200pF capacitor the frequency display worked! 73, Tom KQ7TJ Don Wilhelm wrote > Tom, > > Triple check C11 and C12 to be certain they are both 1200pF and that you > did

Tom, Triple check C11 and C12 to be certain they are both 1200pF and that you did not use the 120pF capacitor for one of them. Build yourself an RF Probe. The schematic for one is shown in the K1 Manual Appendix on Troubleshooting. You can also purchase a kit from Elecraft. 73, Don

Tom, As instructed in the KAT1 manual, refer to page 31 of your K1 manual and see if R39 is present. If not, add it. In either case, solder C76 across R39 - one capacitor lead to each resistor lead. Do the trace cut as shown in the diagram on page 8 - I can't describe it better than the

Fred, If 40 meters works, then 30 should also. They share the same low pass filter and the inductors of the bandpass filter and Pre-Mixer bandpass filter. One possibility is that the crystal for 30 meters has gone bad. You can check for that with an oscilloscope or RF Probe at P1 pin 4.
