Hello Paul,
Those are after adding 470pf to C402; the OP (Lun Yang BD8BTE) and I had the same issue with the 80m sweep, which was a bit low. In particular, my 60m was also a tad off.
Lun added 330pF, I couldn't find anything except 470pF :-)
Please see below the "before and after" sweeps:
80m BEFORE
80m AFTER
60m BEFORE
60m AFTER
40m BEFORE
40m AFTER
So, by the looks of it, 470pF shifted the center down by some 1.5 - 2 MHz for 80, 60 and 40. Right now, I'm listening to the 80m band and it doesn't seem like any great improvement, but this isn't of course very scientific :-)
One thing that I forgot to mention, after adding the 470pF cap to C402, all sweeps looked totally crazy so my heart sunked into my pants, thinking that I've managed to fry something... turned the thing on and off, but no change. But after a full factory reset, all seem to be ok now.
