Hi JT:

Check your construction manual on the XV50 - I believe there is a 
variable capacitor that is used to set your frequency. This is in your 
XV50, not the K2. I built my XV50 this past Spring and it works well. 
Now I'd love to build an amplifier for it ! Maybe the KPA800 / 1500 will 
come along soon.
