K3 - No RX/TX

[Alan Sewell N5NA]

I had a similar problem a month or two ago.  I had upgraded my
synthesizer back in February.  It turns out I had not fully seated all
of the TMP connectors on the new KSYN3A.  It worked great for months,
even running mobile for several QSO parties, before I had the problem.

So, check those TMP connectors on your synthesizer board.

73, Alan N5NA

Thanks for that Alan,

I have reseated the board itself and the TMP connections but no difference.
