[Elecraft] K3 Abberation

[K5WA]

Paul,

One possible explanation is if you currently have CW Keying enabled via your
COM port AND you had just turned on your computer prior about the same time
as turning on the rig.  Your computer COM port randomly fires DTR/CTS
signals on power-up which would present itself as you describe.

If you don't use COM CW keying, I'm stumped.  ;-)

Hi All,

I've noticed an odd behavior on my K3.? From the time power is applied,
the TX light begins to flutter on and off in a random manner.? When it's on,


the K3 transmits, this in CW mode.? It doesn't matter which band is
selected.? 

I've just recently installed firmware version 4.60, but this has been going
on 

for a while.? This condition lasts for as long as 45 seconds, then stops on
its 

own (so far).

ANY help will be very much appreciated!
