[Elecraft] ERR PL1

[Sam Morgan]

once you have set CONFIG: TECH MD  to ON
then tap the [MENU] button to get out of CONFIG

now tap [DISP]
(to make VFO B show various items, like voltage, current, PA temp, etc)
turn VFO B knob
until you see PLL 1  #.#
or until you see PLL 2  #.#

the #.#  is actually the voltage reading
example
my PLL 1 shows  3.0
my PLL 2 shows  3.2
