[Elecraft] K2, S/N6780, Receiver Pre-Alignment Question

[alan latz]

Should I be able to use the Elecraft N-Gen or XG2 signal generator to do my
pre-alignment steps on page 79.

I have no RF generator with me here as I winter in Sebring, FL, trying to
build and finish my K2. I can get the 10meg output from my Heath frequency
counter to come thru and adjust L8 and L9 for max signal strength. Also
while tuning across the dial I get at one point, voices in Spanish so I have
to assume the radio is somewhat working. This is with a two foot shielded rf
cable connected between the antenna input and the freq counter.

If the N-Gen or XG2 set a 50 micro volts is enough to do the peaking of the
coils, what have I missed when trying to hear their input via headphones?

The manual says that I should be able to use the N-Gen.
