[Elecraft] KX3 not operational after move to Florida

[ken at arkayengravers.com]

Hi Bill
There is no mic, just power, dummy load and blank 3.5 mm plug into the 
key jack, as suggested by Don.
VOX was off, but just turned it on and off, no VOX on the display.

Now, when I turn on the KX3, ,I get d=001 ERR KEY. Pressing disp a few 
times clears the d=001. As soon as I long press MENU, I get a string of 
dots.
