[Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Good evening to you as well Christophe,

C71 is properly 82pF, thanks for checking.
That likely means you have a relay problem with either K13, K14 or K15.
You may have a similar problem on bands other than 40m.

You should also check the VFO frequencies on each of the other bands.
Set the K2 to the lower edge of each band, then measure and compare with 
the VFO Freq. chart on the K2 Schematic Key page.

A list of the VFO frequencies that are far away from where they should 
be will give me the information needed to point to the relay at fault.  
Although you may find that with the continuity check.

73,
Don W3FPR
