Well I went home and looked at the VFO pot, and low and behold one one the 
wires had broken while installing the face plate. I did not use the 
supplied green wire, but used some other wire I got at RS. So this fixed 
it!! Now getting about 187kHz on the VFO!!..

I also found that I had missed a spot on the earphone plug. So I fixed it 
and now am ready to start the transmiter part..

Thanks for your help Andy,
