You can ship the radio back and have Elecraft check it out. If it is a board problem I believe they will take care of it for you.

MCU loads fine. I have used two different computers in an attempt to load the firmware. On each computer I have used the KUSB and a 9 pin straight thru serial cable. That doesn't work. I have reloaded the K3 utility to make sure it is the latest version and still no luck. In numerous e mails with Gary we thought trying a new front panel board might work. Wrong , After installing a new front panel board same problem. On page 63 of the owners manual if I hold in the shift / Lo knob while turning on the power I am suppose to see EE INT. All I see is ERR EE2. The K3 is a nice looking radio and maybe one day it will work but , Right now , Very frustrated to say the least.
