[Elecraft] Initial strangeness

[Dick Roth KA1OZ]

It's been many years since even touching an HF radio (last one was 
National NCX-3).  Things that used to be familiar are now strange and 
new again.

To wit...doing the first calibrations.  The synthesizer cal appeared to 
complete correctly, but when I hopped from band to band, there is a 
momentary "ERR PL1" message at VFO B.  I don't know if this is normal or 
not.

I think I went through filter setup correctly, but when attempting the 
Reference Oscillator Calibration my trip took me to an unfamiliar place. 
  While I don't have my antenna set up, yet.  I connected a few feet of 
wire to the ANT 1 input hoping to hear WWV or CHU, but no dice.  What I 
did hear on all bands were spurs or parasitics roaming around.  There 
were frequency sweeps that were VFO dependent and others that were 
unaffected even when spinning the VFO dial.

Perhaps others have been here before and can give me a clue.

Thanks and good night!
