[Elecraft] Re: K2 PLL Reference Oscillator

[zl1aih@ihug.co.nz]

Hi all,
Part way through K2 #3725 - all checks and tests fine until VFO 
Linearization.   Display showed 'Info 232'  - I had selected 40 meters,
and can't find any other reference to 'Info 232' in the Troubleshooting 
Section.
However, the Reference Oscillator Output (pin 1, U4) showed only 0.47v on 
the DMM (via RF probe).
Checked all adjacent components - all OK and within tolerance.
The PLL range test was 12099 to 12085 - 14kHz.
First VCO alignment was within 1.5 to 7.5 volts - adjusting L30 for 6.0v at 
4.000kHz.   After 'Info 232', L30 adjustment has no effect on the test point at 
R30 - just remains constant at 8 volts.   The 12 mHz xtal is still oscillating, so 
I suspect Q19.
Anyone experience this 'Info 232' before?
Thanks and 73,
