[Elecraft] K60XV Problem

[Sjoerd]

Did you change the D19 parameter?

Just my 1st thought...


Good luck!

 Thanks Don. I think the VCO voltage is too low at 5000kHz. At 5300 kHz it 
reads 1.084 vdc on my Fluke 179. I will have to go back to the adjustment 
routine in the K2 manual and see if I can shift all the voltages enough. On 
my previous K2 it worked great at 5000kHz. The buzz saw sound to me is like 
hearing some internally generated low frequency and nothing else. The 
frequency changes a little bit when I attach the DMM lead to R30. Thanks for

your help.
