Hi -?
I have a 20 meter kit and I started the alignment procedure and I noticed that I can peak 8.7 by adjusting the capacitor C1 but then when I try adjusting R27, R24 and R17 I am always at the minimum. After some troubleshooting I put my headphones on and noticed that I am not getting the 700 Hz tone.
I checked the frequency out of the Si5351 in normal mode and CLK0 gives 14.0213 MHz and CLK1 is 14.0214 MHz. I don't know if these are the proper values or not. I've also tested the Si5351 in "Test Equipment" mode using the signal generator and the frequency counter (connecting a wire from FREQ to CLK0 as described in the manual) and it seems to work properly.
The voltage inputs on IC5 (pins 3, 2 & 5, 6) are slightly different than what is shown on page 125 of the assembly manual even taking into account my higher supply voltage:
I don't know if these voltages are a problem or not...
Lastly, I did wind T1 improperly the first time, but I removed and re-wound it and it looks correct now.
What else can I check??
Thanks in advance for your help.
