[Elecraft] K3 reset/reboot

[M.]

Thanks for the suggestions, but can't establish serial communications with it and can't get to any of the menus from the front panel. It just toggles a few items with the wrong buttons.....

Try restoring an old configuration and/or upgrading the firmware with the K3 utility from a PC. Sounds not so good to me though...

My K3 has lost its mind.



The K3 has been sitting off the operating table for a couple of months (sacrilege I know!). Tonight I hooked it back up and powered up and while the display looks ok, none of the buttons function as they should. Most of them do nothing, others are mis-mapped, i.e. Mode ^ toggles ANT1/2, Mode (dwn) toggles RX/ATT, XMIT turns the preamp on and off .....





Tried the Shift/Power Up trick to reset and no joy. Of course it doesn't respond to any serial communications.... Checked the internal coin cell and its ok ...



Any tricks I'm missing? Hopefully not a trip back to the mothership.
