[Elecraft] [SPAM?] K3 TX calibration fails after KXV3B and SYN3A upgrade

[Udo Langenohl - DK5YA]

David,

so did I in June, replaced KXV3-A by KXV3-B, TX calibration always 
failed. Tried several times: back to KXV3-A, calibration works, again to 
KXV3-B, calibration failed. Checked TMP's a hundred times, no fail for 
sure. I didn't replace the SYN-boards.
I finally gave up after 1 week of constant dissapointment. Still running 
old KXV3-A, have a KXV3-B for sale now.
Rig: K3 ser. 59xx, ESD workbench.
