Hi Richard The clue to the problem is when you say " The only way I can bring it back on frequency is by manually adjusting the frequency." If reflock is turned on, moving the dial will only get the the response "reflock" from the vfob lcd line" and will not change the frequency
The solution is hidden away in the "K144XV REFERENCE OSCILLATOR PHASE LOCK OPTION MANUAL ERRATA Rev. A1-1, March 22, 2013" document (30 months old!) why it is still there after all these years and hasn't been put in the manual proper only Elecraft know... I have already helped 3 UK amateurs who have had the same issue!- "Tune the K3 to any frequency in the 2-meter band. Hold CONFIG to access the CONFIG menu and select XVn OFS, where n is the transverter number you assigned to the K144XV (see Enabling the K144XV Module in the K144XV Installation and Operation manual). <<<<<Tap the 0 switch until you see REFLOCK on the K3's LCD>>>>>>>>>. The automatically calculated offset will appear in upper half of the K3's LCD. This enables reflock for both the 144 and 146 MHz band segments. You don't have to repeat the procedure for each segment."

With all these boards working the 2meter frequency is of by 5 kc. The only way I can bring it back on frequency is by manually adjusting the frequency. Any ideas as to what is causing this anomaly? Thank you.
