[Elecraft] A broken K3

[David Olean]

I swapped out the non working synthesizer with a good one I had removed 
for an upgrade. The new one did not work either, so it is something 
else. I tried calibrating both synthesizers and received an error 
message ERROR 00044 on both of them.  I have been trying to contact 
Elecraft support, but have no joy there yet.

I guess I need to study the schematics some more. I must be missing a 
voltage somewhere. I tried re seating the connectors on many of the 
boards including the front panel. No luck there either, but I will try 
again tomorrow and use some DE-OXIT.
