[Elecraft] K3 err msgs on powr up?

[GW0ETF]

I have K3 #145 and this problem has plagued me plenty in the past. I now know
it *is* a problem with the FP connections as Wayne describes. I've more or
less stopped it by using Deoxit on the pins; clearly there is an issue with
oxidation(?) of the pin surfaces.

BTW, Jorge states the radio performs normally even when the errors appear.
Have you checked for example that the KAT3 works when Err AT3 appears, and
that you get 100w out when the PA error appears? Mine certainly didn't.....

73,
