[Elecraft] K2 INFO 232 error with PLL

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

With the K60XV installed, do your have the menu for d10 set to "Y" - i 
needs to be that way or CAL PLL will fail as you stated.
The initial frequency for CAL PLL is in the 12,960 to 12.990 range.

Your TP1 reading also says that the frequency the K2 is trying to tune 
to is near 6350 kHz - again the problem is the d19 menu parameter.

73,
