That's something I had to learn about from a practical, hands-on point

We are still looking for a substitute NCS for this Sunday's SSB net. If you

Pasted below is an exchange between myself and Elecraft on a
similar problem that I had. I exercised the four pushbuttons to
the left of the main vfo knobs a few dozen times each, and it
started working again. I ordered four encoders at $2 each, but
the problem has not recurred, so I'm not go
I made no claims, just that with some monitors and card the adapter works.
To be safe, just use a monitor with a VGA connector and get past all this
probability for problems. The adapters can be very cheap, but if you happen
to have one that works with an earlier DVI/VGA monitor, try it before

I've done that already Don. I've checked it via CONFIG and the Utility.
The correct filter is selected, all the settings are correct. It was working
fine, then this error popped up.
Apparently the filter is fine, as it works on RX.

Julius,
ERR TXF indicates that the wrong filter is selected for SSB. It must be
the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz filter.
You can check usijng K3 Utility or directly with the K2 menu.

A good thought, and would make sense. On power on, it is in cw mode for a
second then switches to LSB (rig is on 40m). Tried exercising all the buttons
but no joy. The two VFOs do tune normally, so seems to be primarily limited to
the pushbuttons.

Thanks for the suggestions, but can't establish serial communications with it
and can't get to any of the menus from the front panel. It just toggles a few
items with the wrong buttons.

A common cure for this symptom is that one of the buttons on the front panel
might be stuck. Exercise anything that you need to push for a function and
see if it might clear up.

Does it accept any commands in the CONFIG menu? Thinking you might be able to
reset one item at a time. Slow but.

While you may be correct about the noise pickup, there is also concern

Yes there is under the SVGA menu -- it's labled SVGA Fill and if "Fill below
spectrum line" is on, you'll get that grey stuff. Turn off "Fill below
spectrum line" and it'll go away.
