I had similar problems when I installed the RefLock option in my
K3 with the new synth. If you have the new synth, use the
cabling diagrams from the new synth installation manual
<http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740257%20KSYN3A%20Installation%20Rev%20A5.pdf>
see pages 15 and 16. As far as I can tell, the installation
manual for the RefLock hasn't been updated for the new synth.
I also think the the firmware "enable" option does not check for
signal on the RefLock input before signaling that the option is enabled.

I have installed the transverter and phase lock option, and have enabled it
successfully (per the instructions). I have an antenna whose SWR measures
less than 1.2 across the band (confirmed with antenna analyzer). However, I
can't hear anything on 2 meters. This was confirmed when I asked a ham
located 5 miles away to meet me on 2 meters - nothing heard.
This leads me to think that the problem is somewhere in the internal TMP
coax connections to the K144XV or to the phase lock option.
I have to say that the instructions for installing the K144XV cables were
totally screwed up and I needed tech support to send me a picture of how
they should go (which bore no resemblance to the instructions). I still
have no confidence that I have these correctly installed.
I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone who may have experienced
similar problems.
