[Elecraft] A broken K3

[Jack Brindle]

David;

Go back and re-read the message from Keith Trinity. Keith is one of the guys down in Watsonville and knows more about the K3 than just about anyone.

To put it another way, you were indeed contacted by Customer Support.

73!

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.
