[Elecraft] K3 Problems

Just got my K3 back from the factory, as they did not put a filter in the sub RX.   Last night and this afternoon I worked quite a few stations on 20 meters, and everything seemed ok.  After dinner I turned the K3 on and it would not operate correctly and "HI SIG" appeared on the screen.  Evidently there is a strong signal blocking the Main RX.  The SUB RX seemed to be OK as I could tune in signals on 40 meter CW.  Also there seems to be quite a delay after most buttons are pushed, and some do not work.  Some one had commented, yesterday about a loud noise in their RX, but it had eventually stopped.  Also the K3 will not transmit.  I went through all of the configuration, and nothing had changed. (had problems getting into config mode).  Any ideas??
