[Elecraft] K3: E 00039?

[John Reiser]

Hi,

Make sure that the KSYN3 and XREF3 boards are not shorting  to the front 
panel shield.  The clearance is very close, and sometimes the leads on the 
undersides of the boards can be a bit too long. You might consider putting a 
small washer under the screw that holds them to add a little more space. 
Then re-do the VCO CAL.

Hope this helps.

73,  John, W2GW
