Early this SAT morning gettin gready to play in NAQP code I fired up both K3's, the logging PC and such. I started double checking SO2R setup in N1MM when all of a sudden radio #1 (K3 sn 594) flashed the ERR 12v message, and I think it said CHECK CIRCUIT BREAKER etc. I looked at circuit breaker and it was not tripped. After a few other general checks I looked at the PA Temp and it was wildly fluctuating with readings displayed such as -3 then to +30 then 5 then +35 back to 23 then -4 then +27 and kept this , all the while in just receive mode. (For reference I looked at radio #2 (K3) and the PA temp was perfectly steady at 23, just sitting idle in receive mode.)
Are these two issues related? The PA temp fluctuation is my real concern. As FYI the radio has worked flawlessly the past couple years, but coincidentally it just came back from the factory having several mods performed along with a couple new options installed. I searched and read the reflector's past comments on the more common ERR12v causes regarding the circuit breaker lugs and the multipin connector being tin vs gold, etc. I will check these later when I can open up radio. Any comments?
