I am completely new to amateur radio, the K1 is my first xcvr, and I
don't even have my license yet.
I have recently completed the assembly of my K1 and I'm not able to pick
anything up on the receiver. I worked with someone on the #hamradio
channel at irc.freenode.net, and hopefully we've narrowed some things
down. I will attempt to explain what we've looked at so far with my
butchered lack of understanding.
I've tested all the toroids for continuity and they all check out, and
I've also gone through the and filter baord portions of the voltage
tables, and those check out as well.
With some quick and dirty signal tracing (30ft of wire with a probe on
the end), I tried inputing rf into various points in the circuit. I got
responses at the following points, all on the rf board:
U2 Pin 1
C38
X4, the leg connected to C38
I didn't get any response at the following points on the rf board:
C39
X1-X4 (except for X4 mentioned above)
Checked the voltages on D6-8 and they are all installed and working
properly.
Any ideas where I should look next?
