[Elecraft] K2 Frequency problem

K2 33332 lives!!!  It works!  The only problem is the frequency =
readout/4 Mhz oscillator calibration.  Frequency readout on all bands =
appears to be 200-300 hz low.  About 300 hz low on 40 meters, 200 hz low =
on 30 meters and on 20 meters.

I have gone through the 4 mhz oscillator calibration procedure several =
times and it appears to be correct but the readout remains low.  The CAL =
FCTR  procedure results in a frequency that calculates to about =
12,000.14 but C22 will only adjust it to 12,000.02 as the highest it =
will go.  This is the only discrepancy noted in any of the readings or =
adjustments.

How can I get this freq to go a little higher thus raising the readout =
frequency? =20

Also noted:  The CAL PLL function will not run on any band other than =
the 7 Mhz band.  It gives a 232 error on all other bands including 10 =
Mhz, which means it doesn't see the reference oscillator on TP1.  Is =
this normal?  I can't find anything about it in the book, but maybe I'm =
just overlooking it.

Thanks in advance for the help.
