[Elecraft] XG1 battery voltage(s) reference needed

[Allen C. Ward]

Rick,
You must have a circuit problem, either there is a bad component, or a component in the wrong place, a bad solder joint or something in the oscillator is drawing too much current.
Check U2 for 1.22 volts.  Make sure R9 is correct value.  Check voltage at the junction of R10 and R11 should be close to 1.5 volts for a good battery.
