[Elecraft] Local oscillator off on my xv144

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

There is no provision for adjusting the LO frequency of the XV144 
transverter - unless you have a recent one.
Yes, the XV50 and the XV432 do have provisions for adjusting the LO 
frequency.

Newer XV144 transverters have had to change the LO crystal, and L19 was 
added to the LO circuit - download the new XV assembly and owners 
manuals and you will see it.  L19 will give some adjustment to the 
crystal frequency.
You may want to order the new crystal and L19 and install them in your 
XV144 to allow the adjustment that you need.

73,
