[Elecraft] KX 3 Intermittent problem power up problem

[Matt VK2RQ]

Are you using the power cable supplied by Elecraft? If you inadvertently try to use a 2.5mm inner diameter plug on the KX3's 2.1mm pin diameter socket, it will seem to fit but the connection may be poor and may result in strange behaviour.

Removing the power cable and letting it sit there disconnected for a few hours and then when power up is turned on   everything starts working just fine. This occurs intermittently several times a day.
