I was trying to calibrate my K2/100 and had it within 10 Hz according to
WWV 10 MHz. I should have left it alone. Now it is off by about 700 to
800 Hz on 40 meters. Ouch!
Here are the steps I did so far:
1. I set the C22 trimmer on the Control Board by the N6KR method at
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com/n6kr_method.htm. I set the dial at exactly
10.000.00 MHz, and alternated between TP1 & TP2 until the readings CAL
FCTR match with about 2 Hz.
2. I ran CAL PLL.
3. I ran CAL FIL on every mode / filter combination, being sure to
change the BFO hex value even if not needed.
I didn't build the K2 in the first place. So I never did the entire
procedure before.
Any help is welcome!
