In this position tighten the grub screw accessible from above. 

 

Turn the tuning knob counterclockwise until you see the second grub screw and can 
tighten this one too. 

 

2.3  Functional test 

 

 

Turn on your transceiver. Set the receiver in the 20m band, USB with "Tune" to maximum 
noise in the speaker. 

 

Check by slowly turning the VFO knob whether you can hear the noise over the entire 
tuning range without interruption.  
If the noise suddenly decreases at any position of the VFO knob, the rotor plates of the 
variable capacitor are touching the stator. In this case, check the capacitor carefully with a 
magnifying glass. 

 

Changing the direction of rotation on the CALIB knob 

 

 

Turn the unit upside down so that the underside faces upwards. 

 

Solder off the two resistors R14 (1

kΩ) and R15 (3.3kΩ) from the CALIB potentiometer 

VR6 (5kΩ), see Figure 7
