[Elecraft] 222 Transverter Issues

[glenn.d at comcast.net]

Hello list. 

Just finished my elecraft 222 transverter and have a couple of issue. 
1 - The input attenuator is overly sensitive. I believe this is R22. I hardley touch it and the voltage level goes way beyone the suggested 2 volts. I replaced it with a 10 turn pot and have a little more control but it seems way to critical. 

Also, when trying to get it on frequency it was 2.5 KHZ high was the best I could do. I bought the optional crystal heater and got it closer but it is still a little high. The odd thing here is I just about have to remove the slugs in L4A and L19. Logic would tell you increasing the inductance should lower the frequency but both of these coils have the oppistie effect. Any idea why this is the case?

Thanks,
