[Elecraft] K3 - ERR PL 1

[Gary Smith]

Hi,

Haven't been on the air much, the K3 has been unplugged & antennae 
disconnected just to protect against lightning possibilities. Last I 
used the rig, I was mostly on the lower bands, rarely 15 meters or 
above.

just for fun I went to check my butternut HF9V to see if there were 
any issues on the bands and when I went to 12 meters I get ERR PL 1 
and on 10 meters I get the same flash message and there's no 
transmit. 6 meters is fine as are all other bands. this is confined 
to 12 & 10 meters.

I reloaded the current firmware and get the same result. I used the 
elecraft utility to calibrate the transmit thinking that might be the 
issue but it failed when it got to 24Mhz.

Idears?

Thanks,
Gary
