Glenn,

The errata sheets always supersedes the manual - it is the latest 
update/correction.  The designation on the errata title carries the 
manual designation that is to be corrected.
Go to the Documentation download page to be certain you have the latest.

I removed the K144XV reference board. Then set the 2 meter offset back to what was labeled on the module. The 2 meter frequency was accurate. I put the K144XV reference board back in. Now the 2 meter frequency is accurate with the board back in. My question is where is the TMP cable suppose to be connected on the KSYN3 board? I have one end connected to REF IN on the 2 meter module. I initially connected the other end to J4 on the KSYN3. I now have it connected to J1 on the KSYN3 do I have the TMP cable connected correctly? The documentation is a little confusing to me. Figure 13 page 15 on the K3EXREF manual shows J4 being used on the KSYN3A if both the KXV144 reference board and the KEXREF options are installed. There is an Errata sheet showing to use J1 on the KSYN3 board. Which one is cor

I am not sure if it was corrupt software and doing the reset corrected the issue and am uncertain where to connect to on the KSYN3A board?
