Thanks, Toby, but the K3 has been operating since March just fine and it 
even took a trip to Gary Surrency for an unrelated problem.  However, 
the latest is that the error disappeared and now I find that the tx RF 
meter doesn't work although is puts out nominal power.

Yikes, I'm a bit confused...
