Thank you very much for the response. You are spot on; it was a problem with the TMP cable to the KREF3 board not seated completely.
Unfortunately when I searched the archives the first time for the error below nothing was returned but a search for the second error (I didn't realize there were multiple errors at first) ERR VC4 E00255 did return a result that pointed me to the TMP cables. 73, Rob Gault / KC2VMP On Dec 10, 2009, at 12:39 AM, Dale Farmer wrote: > Rob, > > When you initiate the VCO calibration does it rapidly count up to 127 or does > it start out slow, speed up in the "middle" and slow down as it nears the 127 > count? > > If it just goes quickly up to 127 and gives you the error code, that is > indicative of not receiving the ref osc signal from the KREF3 board.
