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

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Willy - We are aware of this and are checking it out in engineering 
right now.

We are waiting for a part to arrive to verify the change and we will 
post on the Elecraft list and the web site as soon as it is available.

73, Eric  WA6HHQ
