Re: d4d off frequency
The barrel or the external ring of the power connector should be grounded so it is okay to touch the plated dc jack hole.
For TO-126 package transistors like Q4, the hole has insulation already so a

Re: d4d off frequency
Ron, I don¡¯t understand the point. This is nothing to do with frequency accuracy. Also, nylon screw is not necessary if you follow my instructions to build.

Re: d4d off frequency
Ron,
Since the info is limited, I have to guess.
I suppose you have calibrated K2 frequency. Please confirm you did like one
of these ways:
1. Use zero beat to test the carrier leakage from the D4D

I surely hope that this will not be the sole, or even primary venue for

Re: d4d off frequency
Ron,
If you measure by a frequency counter or other devices with a probe, the capacitance introduced by the probe will pull low the oscillator frequency, and 2kHz is a reasonable number.
You can
