[Elecraft] K3 - front panel issue (update)

[Bruce Meier]

UPDATE:  

I did a CPU reset (NORM / POWER ON) and the first time nothing changed.  The
second time the RATE button worked once.  Then no others worked, nor did the
RATE.  So, I did a third RESET - and now everything is working.   Before
doing the reset I saved my configuration and then reloaded it.  Everything
still is working.

However - - When doing the resets at NO TIME did the EE INIT message get
displayed on the front panel.

Strange - but working.

Now.. Should I load the latest version of microcode.or wait a couple days to
see if the problem(s) come back?

I am waiting..

Subject: K3 - front panel issue


I just noticed that after a fun and uneventful (no failures) weekend of ARRL
SS CW one of my K3s has developed a strange symptom.   I have done nothing
other than turn the K3 off last night and then on this morning.   

Perhaps I pushed something by mistake, but I have no idea what that could
have been.   I have turned the K3 off/on but have not yet done a CPU reset.

K3# 1193
Running:  2.46 code

The following buttons are failing and the others seem to be working fine.

Failing buttons:

Band / Mode: the right side of the buttons don't work
MODE (the up side) - down works fine
TEST - does not function
BAND (the up side) - down works fine
QSK - does not work
Other buttons:
SPOT/PITCH - no impact to either function
NR/ADJ - no impact when pushed
RATE/LOCK - neither function works
ANT - locked on Ant 1, will not select Ant 2


Anyone have any suggestions???


Thanks,
Bruce - N1LN
