SR-2000 VFO UPDATE 014A

This update corrects a number of design problems in the VFO

Birdies and Spurs on this web site will be defined as RECEIVE Birdies and TRANSMIT Spurs.

1. Reduces the 3rd harmonic of the VFO by 40db. This corrects a number of serious and nuisance problems.

2.  Corrects the 30 cycle transmit to receive offset.

3.  Reduces Birdies and Spurs 40db to acceptable levels.

4.  Equalize the S-Meter and transmit drive when using the HA-20.

5.  NOTE: The diagram --- SR-2000 51E --- has the change area and lines color coded Blue.
