[Elecraft] K3 ERR PL1 error

[Richard Thorne]

I had this exact problem in reverse.

My main receiver would show the PL1 error.  I installed the 180k 
resistor on both boards, still no joy.  I then swapped boards which 
fixed the main receiver but now had a new problem on the 2nd receiver, I 
was receiving a DSE error.  I reloaded the firmware which fixed that 
problem.

The rig has been working perfectly since.
