[Elecraft] K3 VCO Errors - Problem fixed

[max iw0gxy]

The problem reported in my previous post has been fixed.
It was my fault because during inspection, before installing the synthesizer
board I didn't see a long lead popping out from a quartz. During another
inspection i noticed that lead touching the shield.
Well, I trimmed it out and the calibration has finally ended without any
error.
I want to thanks Mike AJ9C for his right intuition about the problem.
I wish this could help someone else
