Err FW2 indicates a firmware problem. Try reloading the firmware and if
not successful, contact support/
From the K3 user manual
" Try re-loading MCU firmware first; then
try initializing parameters (pg. 66)".

I followed that procedure (EE Initialization / restored configuration) with no
change. I am using the latest 1.13.5.9 K3 utility software.
On SSB, now the radio will transmit about 5-10 seconds, then the power drops to zero and
the monitored audio goes silent (although the transmit relay stays engaged). I am
occasionally getting ERR FW2, and once I got a "New K3 UTIL software required"
message on the front panel.
I tested the radio on CW, where it performs similarly. After transmitting about
5 seconds, it goes into a solid keydown (on the sidetone) / no power output /
transmit relay locked / ERR FW2.
Anyone have any other ideas or is it time to ship it back to Elecraft?
Tnx,
Will

Per the Owner's manual the next step after reinstalling firmware is to
reinitialize the parameters and reload your configuration file (pg 66 of the
manual).

Subject: [Elecraft] ERR FW2
Operating the IARU contest and a previously solid K3 would cease putting out
power, although it remained in transmit. After an hour of doing this
intermittently, I started getting an ERR FW2. Power off/on would clear this.
After another hour, I received a prompt on the front panel that mentioned
something to the effect of "Use K3 utlity program". After it locked up with
the ERR FW2, I downloaded the latest utility and all new software - MCU
04.67, FPF 1.15, DSP1 2.81, DSP2 2.81.
It worked for an hour and I started receiving the ERR FW2 again.
Any ideas??
