[Elecraft] KX3 - KX3BC problem (?) - SOLVED

[stan levandowski]

OK and thanks, Bruce.  Batteries removed for an hour to make sure the 
supercapacitor on the KXBC3 discharged. This reset its MCU.  Connected 
the power supply back up, put the batteries back in and all now working 
as advertised.  Solution provided by Wayne N6KR.   73, Stan.
