[Elecraft] K1 Alignment Question

Tim,

I don't have a K1 but I strongly recommend you download "K1
Cheap and Dirty Signal tracing" by Tom Hammond N0SS on the
Elecraft web page

Subject: [Elecraft] K1 Alignment Question

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.

Tim,  N9PUZ
