[Elecraft] Unable to config K3 (fwd)

[Jennifer EI7GCB]

Eric I wonder if you have a serial/usb-serial link from your K3 to a 
computer? If you have may I suggest the following:- 

1. Make sure you have the latest version of the K3 Utility program.
2. Make sure you have the latest release of the K3 Firmware.
3. Save your present K3 Configuration to the computer. If that works, then 
switch on your K3 while holding in the "Norm" control until you see "init" 
on the display.
4. Now press and hold the Menu button until you see the "CONFIG:---" on the 
display. If that works then there may have been some corruption in you 
config settings. Try then to save back to the K3 your saved configuration. 
If having done that and holding the menu button no longer gets you into the 
cnfiguration menu, you will have to reset the K3 as above and manually 
re-configure all of your settings.
5. If the reset doesn't work then keeping the K3 attached to the computer, 
press and hold the power button for approx 10 secs. You should then see on 
the bottom left of the display "MCU LOAD". Run the K3 utiliy program to 
download the latest firmware into the K3. That should fix the problem. 

I do hope that helps. Sorry it's such a long winded explanation.
