Recently, I obtained a TK-730h(G)-1, not from Dayton.
I'm trying to convert it to two meters, but can't get
VCO TX PLL voltage lock.

When I look into the hole on the transmit side of the VCO I 
only see green circuit board.  However, when I look into the
receive side of the VCO I can see the slot in TC52 for my
diddle stick.  (I'm using the TK-630 service manual.  My 
numbers may be off).  I have yet to un-solder the VCO shield,
but nothing rattles inside.  Without the ability to adjust the
VCO TX PLL lock voltage, this radio is not much good in
the 2 meter ham band.

My question is do these radios have an adjustment for the
VCO TX PLL lock voltage?  If so, where is it?  I have yet to
locate the correct service manual.


Thank you for you time and suggestions.
