[Elecraft] 2meter off Frequency

[Dave]

Hi Richard

The clue to the problem is when you say " The only way I can bring it back
on frequency is by manually adjusting the frequency." If reflock is turned
on,  moving the dial will only get the the response "reflock" from the vfob
lcd line" and will not change the frequency

The solution is hidden away in the "K144XV REFERENCE OSCILLATOR PHASE LOCK
OPTION MANUAL ERRATA Rev. A1-1, March 22, 2013" document (30 months old!)
why it is still there after all these years and hasn't been put in the
manual proper only Elecraft know... I have already helped 3 UK amateurs who
have had the same issue!-

"Tune the K3 to any frequency in the 2-meter band. Hold CONFIG to access the
CONFIG menu and
select XVn OFS, where n is the transverter number you assigned to the K144XV
(see Enabling the
K144XV Module in the K144XV Installation and Operation manual).
<<<<<Tap the 0 switch until you see REFLOCK on the K3's LCD>>>>>>>>>. The
automatically calculated offset will appear in upper half of the K3's LCD.
This enables reflock for both the 144 and 146 MHz band segments. You don't
have to repeat the procedure for each segment."

I have a K3 with the 2 meter board it has the K144VX ref lock board and the
radio has the K3EXREF installed also installed are the KSYN3A boards.  With
all these boards working the 2meter frequency is of by 5 kc.  The only way I
can bring it back on frequency is by manually adjusting the frequency.  Any
ideas as to what is causing this anomaly?  Thank you.
