My K1 is ready for the first alignment of the 2 band board (40M &=
20M.) It's
passed all tests so far per the manual.
When the K1 is powered up there is noise in the headphones but it=
doesn't
change when the coils are adjusted or the VFO frequency is=
changed. I do not
hear any signals and notice no change when the antenna is=
connected and
disconnected.
Do I have a problem or are the four coils in each band just so=
far out of
alignment that nothing's getting through? I'm short a cable and=
need to visit
Radio Shack for some parts tomorrow so I can use the antenna and=
run another
transmitter into my dummy load so I can get a strong signal=
source.
Any tips appreciated.
