[Elecraft] K3 Menu Stuck

[Bill Johnson]

I had issues with yesterday's update and did a radio shut down restart.  All cured.

In addition to the menu situation as mentioned, when changing modes the mode will not change from CW. Remember you need to go through CW to get from DATA to USB/LSB or vice versa. The problem only occurs when MMTTY is open and the radio is set to FSK D. The situations do NOT occur with Radio Command port set to None (no radio command) nor in other data modes. I have tried MMVARI and Hamscope and it doesn't happen with them but they don't do FSK RTTY. I have a straight through cable from COM 1 on my PC to the RS-232 on the K3 for radio command. For FSK RTTY I have a home brew cable with level converters from COM 4 on the PC to the ACC port on the radio. FSK=TXD DB9-3 (PC) to DB15-1, PTT=DB9-7(PC) to DB15-4. Ground =DB9-1 to DB15-5/12. There are two level converters. One each for FSK and PTT and they are in the back shell of the DB9 connector. Each lev
> el converter is a 1k ohm resister from the respective DB9 pin to the base of a 2N3904 transistor. The collectors go to their respective pin on the DB15. Both emitters are tied to the ground pins on each connector.
