I am at the end of part II and have started my alignment procedures. When I got to CAL FCTR the frequency was 12597.91 with a little fluctuation in the .91? The next step was to the PLL reference oscillator range test. When pushing the Band+ or Band- I get no frequency change at all.? I performed the following voltage test with the rig set on 40 meters.
U6??? lead 1?? 7.6 vdc???????????? U5?? Lead 1?? 4.9 vdc???? RP3?? Lead?? 1???? 7.6 vdc
?????????????? 2?? 4.1 vdc??????????????????????????? 2?? 5.0 vdc????????????????????????2???? 4.1 vdc
???????????????3???4.1 vdc??????????????????????????? 3?? 5.0 vdc??????????????????????? 3???? 4.1 vdc
???????????????4???0.0 vdc??????????????????????????? 4?? 4.9 vdc??????????????????????? 4???? 0.0 vdc
?????????????? 5?? 4.1 vdc??????????????????????????? 5???0.0 vdc??????????????????????? 5???? 0.0 vdc
???????????????6?? .67 vdc??????????????????????????? 6?? 2.0 vdc??????????????????????? 6???? 4.2 vdc
?????????????? 7?? 8.3 vdc??????????????????????????? 7?? 4.1 vdc??????????????????????? 7???? 4.2 vdc
?????????????? 8?? 8.3 vdc????????????????????????????8?? 4.1 vdc????????????????????????8???? 8.3 vdc

One thing I did notice that before I pushed any of the band buttons the bar graph was on +20.
When I hit Band + or Band - the bar dropped down one led. I don't know if this indicates or points to the problem. I checked and rechecked my soldering and it looks ok.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
