Hello to group. Wanted to give some follow up on above error code. This code was generated doing a Synthesizer Calibration on new K3. I wasn't able to find much on this on the reflector and naturally it was a weekend. Then I remembered Greg AB7R. He had helped me in the past with my first K3 and so I gave him a call. He was in the middle of studying for an accounting final. He was gracious to listen to my tale of woe and of course he was able to pull up the info on his computer regarding the error codes for the VCO MD Calibration. It seems that if the error code is low one has to squeeze the windings on T1 on the Synthesizer board together just a bit or if the error code is high one needs to separate the windings slightly. Anyway, I pulled off the synthesizer board, opened up T1, and moved the windings a tiny bit. I closed up the toroid, put the synthesizer board back in and vol la, it calibrated as it was supposed to without any errors.
I did e-mail Gary Surrency and he promptly e-mailed me with more info. Once again this is what makes Elecraft such a special product and company. We get to fix things ourselves and get answers to our questions rather than told to send the radio in for repairs. Kudos again to Elecraft, Greg and Gary. 73, Steve W0SZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
