Hi Don and All, Just to keep you updated about my KX3 problem. Now I put a piece of plastic separating the two side of the box. It was an advice from a friend and a KX3 user. Anyway, now the behavior of the radio is exactly the same as three months ago when I bought it. I can hear the relays

I found the problem myself. I really should keep quiet but on the chance that someone else makes the same error I'll admit to my ineptness. I opened up the KX3 and looked very carefully around the inside. Something about the ribbon cable joining the two halves caught my eye. It was plugged

I completed the assembly of my new KX3 yesterday. When turning on the KX3 I get an immediate ERR IOA d=001. If I tap the Disp/Menu button it changes to ERR IOB d=001. I have checked the cable between the Control Panel board and the RF Board several times. A third tap of the Disp/menu button
