[Elecraft] KXV3B Problems

[Jim Sheldon]

To those who are having KXV3B Problems and getting the ERR XV3 message, 
as Joe W4TV said, you must first have beta firmware version 5.26 
installed.  Then go to the KXV3 item in the menu, make sure it's set to 
NOR and tap 9 on the keypad.  This will switch it from KXV3 to KXV3B.  
To enable the 2 stage preamp then go to PREAMP 2 entry in the Menu and 
turn it on.  You must do this on each of the 3 bands, 12, 10 and 6 
meters.  After that it will work right assuming everything else went 
well with your installation.

Thanks to Bob Friess, N6CM and others for the additional information.
