I recently build a new K3 from a kit. It worked great for a month, but after going through the configuration menus and setting up some preferences, I started getting errors.
After powering the radio back on, my S-meter is a solid S-9 regardless of the input signal levels. With a 50 ohm termination my P3 shows the noise floor below S-0 but the K3 meter is still S-9. I am also getting a KXV3 error at the same time this started happening. Corrective actions taken so far: Removed and uninstalled the K3XV module. (Result: K3XV error goes away, S-Meter still stuck) Remove and replace front panel to insure all connectors are seated properly (Result: No Change) Reloaded all Firmware (Result: No change) Reloaded initial configuration file (Result: No Change) Has anyone experienced anything like this? It is odd that the radio was working fine after the kit build and suddenly stopped after setting up configurations, but it does not start up again after loading the default configurations. I plan on emailing customer support on Monday. 73, -Kenny Keese, KD5EVW K3 SN# 6112 ______________________________________________________________ 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
