My K-1 quit (no TX, no RX) a few months ago and am just now getting
around to working on it.

It is a 2-band kit with 20 and 40 installed.

Originally set up for 7.000- at 7.060; 14.000- at 14.060.

I removed and replaced the filter board.  RX, TX fine except the
range is now 14.047.3 - 14.075.1 and 7.053.6 - 7.081.3.

Spread the turns of L1 and could get to go as low as 7.0361 and as high as 7.0640.  

These frequencies agree with a good receiver and a good signal source.

I'm reluctant to snip off a turn from L1 since it worked fine before
with the current number of turns.

A concern is the lack of tuning range.

VFO OSC is 3.027 - 3.055.

I'd be grateful for advice.

72,

Tim Colbert  K3HX
