I finsished phase 3 but when it came time to test the xmit mixer and 7MHz filter circuit, I did not get the proper results. After double checking, triple checking my work and looking for any other problems, I called Ten-Tec and talked to Gary. After I explained my problem, the first thing he said was to check the capacitor in C70, that it was suppose to be a 47pF capacitor as opposed to the 470pF that is called for in the instructions. He also mentioned if I had listened for the 11MHz crystal oscillator, which wasn’t mentioned in the instructions and I hadn’t done. So – I replaced the capacitor without too much trouble. Tested everything again and still no luck.
