[Elecraft] PLL Control Voltage Range

I have been having some flakey operation with the main receiver in SN 1292
recently which I believe I have cured for the moment by re-calibrating the
main VCO.  As suggested in the manual, I have been observing the PLL control
voltages on the VFO B display.  Depending on the band, it is varying from a
low of about 1.5 volts to about 5.1 volts.  I also notice that there is
sometime a rather large difference between the PLL1 and PLL2 control
voltages (about 2 volts) on a given band, but not in all cases.  These
voltages do not change much over several tens of KHz tuning on any given
band.  Do these values and actions sound reasonable?   I don't recall seeing
a table of acceptable PLL 1/2 control voltage ranges by band. Thanks for any
insight,

Ken, NU4I
