[Elecraft] K3: VFO B Display SHowing "ERR KEY"

[Don Wilhelm]

Jay,

ERR KEY indicates that the K3 thinks either the key, or paddle, or PTT 
(don't forget about PTT over the RS-232 input) is closed when you power 
on.  Check your key and paddles, footswitches or mic PTT button, and if 
necessary, remove the RS-232 cable.
There is also a PTT input on the ACC cable, so if you still have no joy, 
remove that cable too.
If you do find it is one of the cables, rather than just a "book on the 
key", you will have some more investigation to do.

73,
