Fw: [Elecraft] KRX3 calibration failure

[ON4WIX]

To further on my previous mail, I have a couple of additional observations 
to report:

1) Tom, K1TL suggested I check K3SYN PLL voltages. Both synthesizers report 
2,7V.
2) Just reloaded the latest beta FW. I made sure to load DSP data tables as 
well. All went fine but when I attempted the KRX3's VCO calibration after 
the upgrade I still got the same error messages.
3) And now for the funny part: my KRX3 seems to be fully operational! I 
switched the KRX3's antenna to MAIN and the KRX3 seems to be working FB. 
Both receivers seem to be OK, both in unlinked and linked operation.

So, this leaves two questions I guess:
What do the "E00039" and "ERR VC4" error messages mean exactly?
and, not knowing the answer to my first question yet,
Should I be worried, even though everything *seems* to be working OK?

Thanks again for any input
