James,

Those errors and an explanation are in the chart near the end of the manual. Those refer to attempting to transmit before doing several of the calibration procedures. The boards should have been pre-calibrated at the factory, but if yours was pre-calibrated, the data has somehow disappeared.

You can try doing those calibration procedures to see if it helps.

Hi folks,

I am new to Elecraft.  I received my KX3 kit and built it yesterday.  Was
very careful to follow all the directions and warnings.  Now completed, the
receiver seems to work great, but having trouble with transmit.

In any mode, any band, any PTT request (key, mic PTT, etc), I instantly get
four errors:  TXS  TXN  TXO and TXR.

I have enabled the tuner in the menu, but if I hit the tuning button, it
says no tuner (while in the menu, flipping through all the L and C combos,
I hear the ATU relays clicking).

Suspecting the tuner, I removed it, turned it off in the menu and plugged
the BNC directly into the RF board.  I still get the same 4 errors.

I saved my settings and did an EEINIT.  Didn't help.

I've written to Elecraft support and suspect I'll hear back next week, but
I thought I'd ask here in case anyone had any pointers for me on what I
might check while I was around this weekend.

Many thanks.
