Hi,
I've sucessfully put the kit together but have some funny behavior on the tuning range. The voltage at TP1 is at 9V at 107.9Mhz. When I adjust the frequency down it locks at each setting, down to about 89 Mhz, with correspondingly lower voltages each time. It won't lock at 88.1 Mhz, even though the voltage at TP1 is at 0.7 V. When I adjust L1 to obtain a higher voltage, say around 2.3 V, then it locks but won't lock at higher frequencies because the voltage is off.
I'm fine with not being able transmit at 88.1 but will this behavior of the circuit affect stability or other operation in some way?
