[Elecraft] New KSYN3a installed and not working / recognized

[N2ZDB at aol.com]

Any chance that my K3 needs the KREF3 Output Level Modification to increase 
 drive to the KSYN3a?
 
I asked for this kit and have it on hand....

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

Michael,

Check  and recheck the plugging of the TMP cables. Make sure the TMP 
connectors are  fully seated.  The cables must match that shown in Figure 12 on 
page 16  of the installation instructions.

Did you exit the menu after turning  Tech Mode on?  If not, you need to do 
that and try again.

If no  luck, contact Elecraft support for additional help and  resolution.

I  just installed the new KSYN3a and when I turn on my K3/100/2M rig it  
does
not seem
to recognize the board. With "TECHMD ON" and  pressing the display  button
and rotating VFO B knob I
do not  see SYN1 in the VFO B part of the display!

Also there is no LED  light coming on - on the KSYN3a board at all.
