[Elecraft] New KSYN3a installed and not working / recognized

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hi Michael,

To be fully seated, the "wings" on the plugs must be right down against the
"collar" on the socket. Having one of those TMP cable ends not fully seated
in the socket is a very common malaise, sometimes with an intermittent
contact, which is really fun to chase.

When it's right, there won't be even 1/16 inch between the wings and the
collar.

Good Luck & 73
