[Elecraft] K60XV Alignment & Test Questions

[Ken Alexander]

I just completed my K60XV, have installed it in my K2 and am going through the Alignment and test procedures.

My voltages check out OK in the 40/60 Metre Alignment section.

"Connect an antenna to the K2.  While listening to and noise or a weak signal" (your typo, not mine) .... peak the signal by adjusting C1 and C2.  I notice no difference when adjusting either of them.  Is it a subtle peak or sharp and pronounced?

I connect a dummy load and set the power to 2 watts.

"Enter TUNE and adjust the two trimmers for maximum power output."  -- Well, I can adjust them and get anywhere up to 15 watts out.  But I don't think that's what you mean, is it?  If you want me to set the power output to 2 watts then I assume I should tune to get about that, shouldn't I?  What do you really want me to do here?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
