[Elecraft] RE: K2 40 tTr VCO lock

Cary,

That means that your 40 meter band is not tuning at all.

I believe you have the K60XV option installed - enter the menu and set D19
to 'y' and re-check the voltage at the left end of R30 for all band edges.
With the K60XV installed, the usual extreme points can be found at 4000 kHz
and 5300 kHz - if you get these in range, the others will normall fall into
place properly provided the capacitors and varactors in the VFO range select
area are correct.

  With the exception of the 40 meter band, the VCO alignment went "by the
book" -  7000 and 7300 Mhz both read 7.92 volts  and it does not vary as I
tune  between those frequencies.  I have checked the parts which were
replaced in adding the mods noted above and re-heated C-71 through 75 and
D-19 & 20.  Hooked it up for testing and it's still a rock solid 7.92 volts
on 7000 through 7300.

  L-30 is the correct inductor; T5 (wound by Mychael) and D21-26 all worked
the first time around on the VCO alignment so I doubt there's a problem
there.

  Does anyone on the reflector have any idea where I should look next?  If
so, I 'd appreciate it!
