[Elecraft] [K3] XV144 fault (offset problem?)

Check the frequency stamped on the crystal, mine was the wrong frequency 
and gave the exact same problem, I requested a new one and it was also 
the wrong frequency. In the end I obtained a high stability crystal 
locally and it came up exactly on frequency. I don't know if Elecraft 
was aware of this but at the time it was very frustrating.
