RX/TX problem

Mike Kasrich
Last week I was on the list when my K-3 went belly up.  The support
folks were on top of the problem right away. Kudos to them.  The problem
appears to be an intermittent socket/connection between the txco and the
ref board.  When pressure is applied down on the txco towards the front
shield the RX/TX comes to life and the synth calibrates.  Why the
failure happened in the first place is a mystery since the radio was
working fine then quit.

In any event it would appear to be a simple enough fix at this point.

P.S. Despite the problem I still got on the list for a second K-3 at Dayton!
