Only one flaw in your method Jim.  Anytime you adjust C22 you must rerun the
Cal PLL function or you will have a non linear tracking of the vfo.

Sorry for the ommission. Hope I did not confuse anyone. I was just
commenting on the method I used up to the point of running CAL PLL. Jim is
absolutely correct. Any time c22 is adjusted CAL PLL must be run.

On that note, CAL PLL would blow up with an Error 232 indicating I was not
on the proper band (7.000 - 7.100). I checked and found I was on the correct
band. Two other attempts at CAL PLL failed also. I deduced that perhaps the
VCO control voltage was somehow getting out of range and checked all of that
with the DVM. That was OK. So.... I LEFT THE DVM CONNECTED TO THE TEST POINT
and attempted another CAL PLL. Ran without a hitch.
