Initial Build: Error calibrating Synthesizer

[Rob Gault]

I am in the process of building my K3 kit SN:3700.  I am at the  
configure synthesizer step; I am getting ERR VCO displayed in the VFO  
B portion of the screen and E 00005 in the VFO A portion of the screen.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct this and clear  
the error?

Another search of the archive found the fix.

It was a TMP cable that wasn't completely seated.

Rob -

See page 69 in the operator's manual for ERR VCO and on page 66 for a
section titled Error Messages (ERR xxx).

Thank you,  I will be keeping an electronic copy of the manual available for searching in the future.
