Another thing to try is load the FPF firmware again. The FPF must match the
MCU, that is, when a set of firmware files is released, don't just load one
file from the set.

Hi



I have an issue with my K3. I keep the antennas physically disconnected here
and the radio had not been turned on for a week or so. Turned it on last
night and it initially worked fine. Made a few Qs on 6m.



I then noticed that I could not switch the VFOs back and forth using the A/B
button. Most of the buttons on the right hand side of the radio are "dead".
I cannot change band, but can change mode. Some buttons appear to be
"remapped". ie: the RX button turns the NB function on and off. The ANT
button does the same thing for the NR function.



The archives suggest this can be fixed by using the restore feature (Holding
Low Cut/Nom knob and cycling the power). I tried that 9saving the config
first), but no luck. The Norm button also does not seem to be functioning
correctly (pushing the knob has no effect, but I can change the cut).



Any ideas? Is there another to try a full restore?
