I had a similar thing happen to my K3 a few weeks ago. Was getting ERR PTT with literally nothing but power connected. Only way to turn it off was to shut down the power supply. Doing an EE INIT didn't fix it. After disassembling the rig enough to inspect the key jacks and the front panel mic connector, it started working again. I never did find a definite cause for it. It has not happened since.
(Side note: I know Wayne is working on a firmware change to let the rig be turned off when ERR PTT happens.) 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Jan 13, 2010, at 8:10 AM, David Windisch wrote: > > SN28XX, V3.68 firmware, re-loaded several times to no avail. > Other than rtm and reading the archives, I've not a clue why this is > happening. > I've followed the steps in the manual to no avail. > *Nothing* but power is connected to the K3. > Unit comes uo on 10MHz WWV, loud and clear and that's about it. > Won't tune. > No consistent behavior pattern, right or wrong. > Sometimes I can change a band once, or a mode, then lockup occurs. > Can't turn power off. > Can't get into any menu. > Won't transmit. > Now what?
