Thanks to Sam K5OIA pointing me to Wikipedia re MISO (master input slave output) I was able to rebut  jokes from immediate family members re Japanese soup. After removing all modules except the front panel, carefully applying 'De-Oxit' to all non-gold plated pins, re-assembly restored K3 #321

Early model (#321) displays ERR I01, indicating MISO line stuck low (asserted). I can't find any reference to 'MISO line' in the manual.   Any help would be much appreciated. 73, Ken ZL1AIH From: elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net

Hi All, Two K3s in the ZM1A shack,  #320 and #321 - both have the Revision B March 15 2009 modification. Recently, #321 has refused to turn off - no problem with #320. Checked the 1N4148 diode, tests OK but replaced it anyway.   #321 still refuses to turn off. Has anyone else experienced this

Hi all, When K3 #321 is switched off, it automatically switches on again. No error message, and all other functions seem normal. Of course it stays off when the power supply is removed. Alongside it, K3 #320 (both share the same 13.5v supply) operates as normal... Anyone on the list

The K3 will handle the open-frame relays in SB-220-type amps but open-frame relays will not close reliably within 20ms. Some contest logging programs (CTWin for example) enable up to 250ms delay which is fine for most old amps, but don't attempt to use your paddle via the K3 internal keyer. A
