I have had the same problem - It depends where the crystal ends up frequency wise. Turn the tech menu on and go to the ref menu item and see what frequency is there. If the last 3 digits are well below 500, then the 2 meter offset will be very noticeable.
Keith from Elecraft had responded about the issue if you want to try and search on nabble. The TXCO could be off or the synthesizer board in the K3s could be causing issues. They ended up replacing the TXCO in mine.

Both have gone unanswered. I have also left voicemail for support as well. I am guessing that they are way behind on orders (have an order in for the 10mHZ RefLock too) and support requests due to the lockdown. Hopefully, it is an easy fix. /randy > On Sep 16, 2020, at 8:54 AM, John Stengrevics <jstengrev...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > Hi Randy, > > I have a similar problem, but only 800Hz low. > > The solution was beyond my capabilities.
