[Elecraft] New K3 Build Config Problem

[John Oglesby]

Group - I am building a new K3 kit and ran into a problem today.  I did 
the initial power on test in the build cycle with no issue. I am now at 
the initial configuration point after the radio is built but before the 
100W amp installation.

When I powered up the radio, everything was fine, although I was 
surprised that I didn't get any error messages as expected in the 
assembly manual. I proceeded to calibrate the synthesizer which went 
fine. I then began to set the filter parameters and mis-read the 
instructions and after setting the bandwidths, started to set the modes. 
Instead of setting the mode and doing all of the filters, I did all of 
the modes on one filter. After I did a couple, I got a message that 
something was "FULL" and the radio became unresponsive. I tried powering 
off and back on, but then it wouldn't go into config mode. So I looked 
up how to do a soft reset, but when I held in the SHIFT/Lo knob and 
turned on the power I didn't get the EE INIT message and now all of the 
buttons do strange things, it started randomly beeping and now won't 
power on.

Help?
