[Elecraft] RE: K2 Transverter TRN3 and TRN6 setup problems

[Mike Lewis]

Update - after several experiments with Ben, I have reproduced the problem 
on TRN6 100% of the time, but not on TRN3, which I have been using for a 
long time now.  I am using TRN1-4.  I turned on and played with TRN5 also, 
and tried different ADDR values on both TRN 5 and 6, but TRN 5 works fine, 
and TRN 6 always locks up when the VFO dial is moved.  Ben still has the 
problem on TRN3 for some reason.  Maybe some firmware differences? A mystery 
to be solved.
