[Elecraft] K3 locked up, ERR KEY in display

[W6NEK]

Hi Eric,
>From the K3 operating manual Display error = "ERR KEY":

Problem - Attempt to key the transmitter or activate PTT during power-on

Troubleshooting steps: Usually caused by an external device shorting KEY or 
PTT to ground; disconnect such devices until they're initialized properly. 
Also see CONFIG:PTT-KEY. If necessary, try removing the KIO3 module or its 
digital I/O daughter board.

Check to see if your key is closed, or PTT is shorted or external software 
has RTS or DTR set to PTT the rig.

Hope this helps,
Frank - W6NEK

My K3 is locking up and displaying ERR KEY in VFO B. It would not even 
respond to pressing the POWER button, I had to disconnect the power. After 
several power cycles it seems to be responding. WHAT UP WID DAT?
