[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel Problems

[Dick Roth KA1OZ]

Hi all--

I've been having a terrific time getting to know #859.  My antenna party
is tomorrow and I'll be on the air in a couple of days.

Last night while reading the mail, the front panel began flashing.  The
LCD display lamp turned off, the LEDs flickered and turned off and I
lost control of the radio.

The rig was still receiving (the AF Gain control did still work), but I
couldn't change frequency or any other state of the K3 including the
ability to turn the power off.

I gave the box a therapeutic rap to see if anything was loose, but no, 
it sounds absolutely solid.  Within a few moments, all faculties 
returned and I was able to power it down for the night.

Has anyone seen this before?

ttfn &
