Re: [Elecraft] Strange bandswitch behavior - incorrect command interpretation
Hi, I had the same problems on my old K3 #778. The encoder/switches replacement solved this issue. 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Strange-bandswitch-behavior-incorrect-command-interpretation-tp7606221p7606236.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
Re: [Elecraft] Strange bandswitch behavior - incorrect command interpretation
Chris, I had the same issue with the band down side. With the power off, I just rapidly and aggressively pushed on the band down side with moderate pressure -- maybe 20 times. The switch seemed to be sticky when new. The issue returns if the button is partly depressed in haste. Elecraft support advised me I was the first to report this and if I sent it back, they would test the unit's functionality. I decided not to do that due to shipping cost--for such a trivial issue-waiting for it to fail completely.

Pressing the right side of the BAND rocker switch, the radio began incorrectly interpreting different commands, and the behavior was repeatable even after power cycle. First couple of presses changed modes. Next press engaged the NR icon. Third press resulted in the message NO ATU in the VFO-B window. BAND-Down seems to be OK. The only thing different is I just added a P3 to my setup, and while doing so, I upgraded to the latest released firmware using the K3 utility program. After some more pressing of the band up function, it seems to have come back to normal. Come to think of it, this is not the first time I've run into a confused command after a button press, but I've ignored them until now. Anyone else seen similar behavior?

Get Elecraft blessing first, however, a quality electrical contact cleaner with plastic safe contact lubricant will likely help. Check with Elecraft before using anything.
