I'm not sure what you are looking at Mike. The K3 Assembly manual has
nothing about the fans on page 49. Testing the fans is covered on page 14 of
the KPA3 option manual, as follows: 

Press the POWER button to turn the K3 on. 

Hold CONFIG to select the Configuration menu, then turn VFO B to KPA3.

Turn the VFO A knob to PAIO ON, then turn it further to PAIO TST. When
moving between ON and TST, you should hear a relay click on the KPAIO3
board. If you don't, press the K3 POWER button to switch it off, then on
again and retry the test. 

Turn the VFO A knob on past TST to FN1, then FN2, FN3 and FN4. The fans
should start turning at FN1 and increase speed as you continue to FN4.

I have checked out just fine up until the fan test on page 49 of the
assembly manual. I set the power control to above 11 watts now to edit the
PA menu I get to the point were the display on the k3 reads   PA    ON   If
I tap the display button I am not getting to the fan setup menu. I know I am
doing something wrong with button pushing or something but just not sure
what. In the manual it tells me to "Edit the PA menu parameter" I seem to be
tapping menu and then tapping display to get to the secondary menu but when
I get to PA I just can't get to the fan control options to do the fan test.
