[Paul Wilton]

Ah - just found the problem.  I missed the addendum which says I need to enable it by pressing the REV/2 switch.  It’s now working fine.

On pin 1, I can see some very long duration (50ms to 400ms) square waves going from 0 to 4.7v every few seconds.  These same pulses appear on Pin 1 of P75 on the KREF3 PCB and then onto the RF board.
