[Elecraft] K3 problem "ERR DLL"

[Don Wilhelm]

Rys,

The first thing to try are the steps indicated in the K3 manual listing 
of errors.

If those do not help, and this is an older K3, try removing the front 
panel assembly (the KDVR3 manual page 7 has good instructions for doing 
that).  If the pins on the front panel connector are tin plated, they 
should be replaced with the gold pins (Elecraft has a kit).  In any 
case, removing the front panel assembly and simply replacing it will 
wipe oxidation from the pins and can restore proper operation.

73,
