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

[Roger de Valle]

Don

I have to say this has taken a good while to sort out, I sent an email 
to Gary on 19/04/2010 notifying him of the problem. The response then 
was to send a couple of new crystals also on the wrong frequency so I 
gave up and purchased a crystal locally.  I have to say the transverter 
works fine now but I wish it had been sorted out a lot earlier.
