[Elecraft] K3EXREF - What am I doing wrong

[David Anderson]

Have you gone to Config: Ref Cal and tapped 2 to enable XREF IN ?

See page 63 of the manual.

I Installed the board according to instructions, took static precautions, am using a known good cable from the K3 to said reference.  I can clearly hear the 10MHz tone on my K3 when I tune a VFO to 10MHz and the signal goes away if I disconnect the coax from the freq reference.  I've checked all of the tmp connectors and reseated the K3EXREF board on the K3REF board and all pins are properly engaged.  But still no * on the display and the REF CAL setting remains unlocked.
