[Elecraft] K3: internal 2m transverter offset problem

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Are you on the latest firmware rev level in the 2M module?  I thought I was and missed an update somewhere along the way.

I recently pulled my 2M module and sent it to Elecraft because one of the two crystals was marginal, and it was dead from 146-148 MHz.  I got back their evaluation and, along with the crystal replacement, I was (very sheepishly, I might add) informed that I did not have the latest firmware which is needed to enable REFLOCK in the 2M module …  This sounds (sadly) familiar and might be the issue …
