[Elecraft] New owner with New K3S kit need help?

[WA7SPY]

I plugged the REF IN TMP cable to J4 on the Main KSYN3 board per the diagram on page 15 of the K3EXREF installation and operations manual. The 2 meter frequency is off according to the K3S display and verified being not centered with my P3. If I plug the REF IN TMP cable into J1 on the Main KSYN3 board the 2 meter frequency is centered and accurate also verified with my P3. I used a local repeater and tried simplex with my Yeasu FT - 60 and the two meter displayed on the K3S is off center with distorted audio if I plug the TMP cable into J4. If I plug into J1 audio sounds great and the K3S displayed frequency is centered with my P3. So I assume J1 is the proper connection? I have an email into tech support about this.
