[Elecraft] K3 Parts transfer between rigs

[Don Wilhelm]

Was the DSP2 board and the synthesizer board for the KRX3 transferred 
from the other K3.  From the errors you are getting, it would seem that 
they were not.

Did your tech elmer just do the unplugging/replugging job or did he 
check the result out after each option was transferred?  What did he say 
when you asked him for his observations.

You may have to contact Elecraft support with your error codes.

The first receiver works well and I loaded the filters fine. However, when I went to load the second receiver and run the synthesizer calibration I received multiple errors.
