[Elecraft] K1

[Don Wilhelm]

Cory,

The E42 error means there is something wrong with the VFO - most likely 
a bad solder joint or an improperly tinned toroid lead.  Check the 
schematic to determine the components in the VFO and examine them 
carefully, resoldering where necessary.

Once you find the problem source, I would believe it may also correct 
the drift.  The K1 does not normally drift more than a few Hz.
