Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Power on issue
Few ideas Unplug everything on left side of radio, but pwr. Try again If still a problem, Check /re-seat the flex cable between the two main boards. Might have been pinched or moved when you added batteries. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-Power-on-issue-tp7591024p7591025.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] KX3 Power on issue
All, I just joined the list and have a factory assembled KX3 for about the last 8 months. KX3 has had little use as I worked on putting together the power supply and antenna. I have discovered a new issue and I am not sure what caused it. I updated the firmware to the latest version last week of the release firmware. I believe I turned it on after the firmware change, but not sure now. I updated the heatsink to the one from ProAudioEng. I added internal batteries 2500mAH to make use of the internal battery charger and RTC. Symptoms on power up: TX light stays solid red. triangle f (delta f) is solid orange. OFS and B square (square around B) are solid green. The KX3 would not power off, so I removed one of the internal batteries which allowed the unit to power down. Thought issue was releated to internal batteries not being powered from a higher current source, so I put battery in and added external power. Same as before and had to remove battery to power off. Went to just external power, issue remained but I was able to power off. Sometimes the KX3 power ups if I hold the buttons to turn it long enough. Only change I did on the firmware beyond updating it was to have a startup message with my call. I would appreciate any thoughts on where to start trying to figure out the issue.
