[Elecraft] XG1 Crystal mounting

[Joe - aa4nn]

Hi Gang,

Any experience with the XG1?   What a simple circuit board and it's not
working.

If the xtal is mounted per the picture on page 6 of the instructions and
where the instructions say to ground the xtal case into one of the square
holes near BT1, then this all seems not very correct.  Either that or my
xtal has the nomenclature printed in reverse on the xtal case.

Anyway, I solder the xtal leads into the square holes right there where it
says X1 and ground the case via a ground plane hole near the on-off switch.
The green led will light up and there's 1.22 volts on C3, yet there's no
signal into the receiver or into the MFJ frequency counter.  This is at 1 uV
or 50 uV.   All tests confirm the correct voltages where noted.

In the initial test section page 3:   Step 1. says set S1 to OFF and set S2
to 1 uV position.
Then Step 2. says set S2 to 50 uV position.  What?

Any ideas?
