[Elecraft] KRX3 Installation ; ERR VCO 00227

[ww2r at g4fre.com]

I had a similar issue with mine last weekend, but the error code on the sub
vco was 00374

I swapped the sub and main vco resulting  in the error repeating on the main
vco

It appeared to be a board issue. So I called Aptos monday who advised me to
open up the toroid on the vco board and spread the turns slightly.

Been on a road trip since so havent had chance to try yet

After installing the latest firmware, I installed the KRX3 that I just
received yesterday. All went smoothly until I went to Calibrate KsYN3
(p 43 in KRX3 Manual). I keep getting ERR 00227 VCO. I also received
the ERR 00228 VCO one time.

Any ideas where I might look to solve this issue?

Thanks!
