Never mind. Found the problem, I was on the 80 band and had turned the
adjustment to get to 7.00 Mhz. Reset to 3500 and used the Band switch and
all is well. "END"

I'm to the point of doing the VFO linearization. I went into Cal PLL with
the test probe on TP1, my reading is 12098.8. I enter the Edit portion and
the reading just sits there, never decreasing, never displaying "d" and
never giving me an "end" message. I get no error codes either. Any ideas
Bob,
Have you first checked the PLL range? With the probe in TP3 (you may
have to remove the KDSP2 or KAFT2), and menu in CAL FCTR - what is the
frequency when you tap the BAND+ button? What frequency when you tap
the BAND- button?
If you have a good PLL range, then the frequency should de

Scott,
The K2 looks for a frequency reading near 12,100 kHz when it starts the
CAL PLL sequence.
If yours is only going up to 11,959.64 kHz, that is not high enough.
Info 232 is a usual result if the initial frequency is too low.
Check your PLL reference oscillator range again (check at TP3).
Scott,
Make sure you are tuned between 7.0 and 7.1 Mhz and you are on the right test
point (TP1). It's been a long time since I aligned my K2 but I vaguely remember
making that mistake and getting the same error.

Are you on 40m, or is the VFO just set to a frequency in the 40m band?

Hi
First off, I'm sorry to keep bugging everyone but I have a problem again.
I'm in the VFO linearization part of the second test on my K2, and am having
a problem that the manual doesn't say how to solve.

I ran the VFO linearization. The frequency displayed was varying between
12,099.00 and 12,098.99 for approximately 13 minutes. Then the frequency
displayed was 12,085.41 ( a difference of 13.59 kHz) followed by d and then
