[Elecraft] Low PLL reference oscillator range

[Paul Bruneau]

Hi all-

K2 #4818 here, I'm in Alignment and Test part II

Everything has gone great, my soldering is nice if I do say so myself, 
I'm very careful with my parts, but I have an "issue" with the PLL 
Reference Oscillator Range.

My High freq: 12099.03
My Low Freq: 12089.77
My range: 9.26

The book says it must be at least 9.8 and to "see troubleshooting". I 
wish they had put a nice three digit number next to that note so I knew 
where in troubleshooting to look, but even if I knew, I don't know what 
I would do...

Is 9.26 really too low? And what is it too low for? I'm just a guy with 
a soldering iron who knows most letters of morse code without peaking!

I have been continuing for now. VCO Alignment went fine. BFO test went 
fine. If this is really a problem, where will I see the negative 
aspects of it?

Thanks everyone, you all make one fine list!
