[Elecraft] K3 off frequency?

My K3 (with all S upgrades, ser #170) stopped working over the weekend.  I noticed that on 80m, while the frequency on the rig was 3574, the frequency reported by KAT500 was 3152 (or so).   No output on any other band.  I then checked reception of WWV - no reception of the 10Mhz signal.  I fed in a -50dBm signal at 3574KHz.  No reception.

I am going to crack the case on the weekend.  

The only think I can think of is that something has shaken loose as the rig was transported by car a while ago.  Given the odd frequency, I am thinking that it may in the LO chain.

Any thoughts?
