Steve,

I'll have to check those.

Thanks,

Check the values of C50 through C52.? It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the resistors around the tuned circuit, as well.

Cranking up the output of the generator helped and I can hear it better on any/all band settings (was only hearing it well on one of the AUX positions but can hear it now regardless of the bandswitch which makes better sense). Also, moving the VFO doesn't affect the zero-beat now.

The problem I'm having now, though, is that I cannot zero-beat a 50.000kHz signal by adjusting T7's slug.? It is quite a bit off frequency and not sure what would cause that.

Make sure that you have it on the right pin. I used about a 1V signal and had no trouble.?

Following the manual, with the BFO and PRODUCT DETECTOR on, I've connected a 50kHz unmodulated signal through a blocking capacitor to V5, Pin 1. While I can hear the signal, if I turn the tuning knob, it changes the zero-beat and that doesn't seem correct to me.

The manual doesn't give any "initial settings" for the alignment so I'm curious how one is to zero beat that oscillator. Is there something wrong with my 2-B such that tuning the VFO changes the zero-beat for this step? If not, I'm unclear how to go about this adjustment and am asking for any advice regarding that.
