Thank you to everyone who replied with advice on my problem.
The advice all points one way so I will have a look at the KPA power
connection pins over the holiday period and then do the necessary repair
with replacemnt pins from Elecraft as required - or just hardwire them as
per one suggestion.
Hi Alan,
That's good news! Glad you went for a walk and had a revelation, I think I
need a little longer walk perhaps! I'm still having problems but gathering
good data for help I hope. I have enabled my modules and filters but still
no received broadcast, WWV time signal or Ham traffic. Hence I h
Whew! Both bands were rather noisy. Waves of scratchy QRN moved
through the frequencies. QSB was medium to deep, but slow. When I
checked 14050 kHz before the first net I heard K1ECU calling CQ very
clearly. If I would have had the time I would have replied. I moved up
to 14050.5 kHz to ho
I had this problem with #1823 just after I returned from an expedition
in 2010. (lucky, eh?)
It is indeed a result of the steel pins carrying the 12v to the PA
becoming tarnished.
Not trusting myself to replace the pins, I opted for the "bypass
operation" - wire jumpers around the pins (Elecraft
FM broadcast transmitters as well as AM broadcast transmitters have been
doing thus for many years now.

Ok, I actually RTFM'd. Looks like it a tech menu item and set to
"Nor" by default.

Why can't I find the RX SHFT menu item in my KX3?
I am getting ready to do the EXTENDED VFO TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
PROCEDURE and the instructions want me to set RX SHFT to "Nor" but I
don't see a menu entry for this.
Thanks

Easy when done corre
I also have an early K3, ser nr apprx 400 earlier than yours. I got the
ERR 12V fault a couple of months ago. As others have mentioned it was
the KPA pins. They were not corroded so much as discolored. I replaced
them and the two front panel connectors at the same time.

Hi Tom.
Ya can't always cure stupid (me of course, not you)! :-)
On waking today, it occurred to me that I had not enabled FL3 for RX and
TX!!! Obviously I'd configured FL3 filter parameters, but totally forgot the
rest.
I've now removed all of the config and enabling for FL1 until I install
Barry,
Contact Elecraft support and request the Gold Pins kit.
Also obtain E560002 which is the KPA3 12V Sense Modification.
You might want to consider other updates to the K3. See the website
listing for Spare Parts and Mod Kits for the K3. Click on "Order" to
get there.

Good Morning, Barry:
Sounds like a problem that raised its head quite a while back with
corrosion of the 12V pins on the KPA3 connector. I am not near my rig
and info at the moment so I can't confirm that.
73 and Happy Holidays,
