Bob, I recorded 3 such "steps" before attempting to discern why. I will
define a step as a shift in frequency of the VCO at TP1 and a shift in
voltage measured at the junction of R30 and R31.
Display TP1(measure with Note:
on board freq. ctr.) The measured frequency did not vary at between the
steps.
4000.00khz 8913.6
3996.47khz 8913.05
3996.38khz 8908.6
Page 108 of the manual states:
"U4 provides coarse tuning (5khz steps). Fine steps are achieved using a 12
bit DAC (U5) to tune a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (Q19) which is
the PLL (U4) reference oscillator."
