[Elecraft] ERR KEY with Bencher Paddle

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

Are you certain the plug is inserted all the way into the jack?

Do you have a stereo 1/4 inch phone plug that has nothing connected to 
it?  If not, can you borrow one?
Plug it into the jack and see if you still get the ERR KEY.
If not, the K3 is OK and the problem is with the paddles, the cable or 
the plug.

If you get ERR KEY with just the bare plug, contact support.
