[Elecraft] [K3] Betaware 3.06 Problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

I would guess that your download of 3.06 was corrupt.  Try downloading 
it again.

I listened to the receiver briefly and all was fine.  However, I wanted to try the soft decay and longer hold, slower agc settings featured in the 3.03 release.

Unfortunately, when the transceiver returned to normal operation it produced the most god awful piercing, deafening, howl in my sounds sweet spkr  it scared me. hi!  The K3 display locked up with s meter lcd bars fully lighted to 60 over 9 and no way to turn rig off, change bands or modes.  Removing the 14 volt power supply was the only remedy but then the rig came on the same as it went off but waiting 3 to 4 minutes or more would gradually return to normal ssb receive.
