[Elecraft] K3 ERR KEY/PTT Problem

[K4IA at aol.com]

The only way to clear the error is to get the logging program to stop doing 
 whatever misbehavior is going on.  I had this happen while I was playing  
with the configuration settings in N1MM while the radio was on.  I had to  
terminate N1MM and turn off the radio.  I never did figure out what caused  
it but I did make it go away.

Buck,
That may be possible,  though I've never had that happen before.  But isn't 
there some way  simply to clear the error and move forward?
