Re: [Elecraft] K3 ERR XV3
I have not checked but it appears that I only uprgraded one of my K3's with the version B board. It is working fine and I see the 1 and 2 that I was expecting. Thanks for the help!

I wish there was an easy way to check on what each radio has. I suspect that I do not have this board. I did see that others also had the same err message. I am able to set the preamp 2 to on with the B showing. I am not sure it is doing anything. I guess I will have to take off the covers.

[Elecraft] K3 ERR XV3
