[Elecraft] PLL Clicks

[Kevin Shaw]

I attached an antenna and I do hear clicks when I turn the VFO in both
directions while on 40 meters. Probably due to the strong SW stations.

I sold the radio last week and I had to take it back and refund the
gentleman's money because of the clicks. Is this something that is inherent
in the K2 design and affects all radios to some degree?

Thanks,

Kevin

Don,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately it reads 8.5 ohms. I'll have to look elsewhere.

Kevin,

Check RFC15 on the bottom of the RF Board.  You must check it with an 
ohmmeter - even if it is open you will find 5 volts on both sides of it.

Should you find it open and do not have an immediate replacement, short 
across it, replace the bottom cover and re-run CAL PLL - then check 
again for the clicks.
