[Elecraft] K1 VFO frequency does not change

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

If the other 1SV149 varactors are not behaving correctly, it will show 
up in your IF filter passband.
Download Spectrogram from my website www.w3fpr.com (or use Spectrum Lab 
or ohters) and feed the K1 audio output to your soundcard.
I understand that you may not know what to expect, so send me 
screenshots of the passband for FL1, FL2 and FL3 and I can let you know 
if they are as expected.

73,
Don W3FPR
