[Elecraft] KX3 Shutdown and Power up problems.

[Don Wilhelm]

Bernie,

Do you have a saved configuration file for that KX3 from a time it was 
working properly?

If so, you can do an EEINIT (Reset to Factory Defaults) - see the manual 
for the procedure.

The reset will lose the calibration data and any menu settings that you 
have added.  That is why the saved configuration file is important - 
restore the configuration file using KX3 Utility.

If you have no other recourse, you can request the factory configuration 
file from support at elecraft.com.  Be sure to specify your serial number.

If the EEINIT does not correct it, you can ask for an RSA to send it in 
for service.  If you prefer, it can be sent to the service facility in 
Italy.

73,

With batteries fitted it will no longer fully power down, it stays orange with (7) ******* stars showing on screen and Delta f light on and OFS and B green lights on. I have to disconnect all power to the unit to fully shutdown ie pull out one battery and no external supply.
