[Elecraft] K3 DVR comes and goes?

[Rich]

Let us know what you find.   I have a K3S which was sent back to have 
the DVR firmware updated, not the update we can do, but the one that 
needs done at the repair center which now shows "dr 02.05".  Even after 
the repair many times my DVR will not work at all or locks in 
transmit.   If I check the FW REVS in CONFIG it will show "dr 00.01" or 
a variety of other numbers, but not "dr 02.05".   If I cycle the power 
on the radio a time or two it will again show "dr 02.05" and starts 
working again.

You might want to check what you FW version is when the DVR is not working.
