[Elecraft] K3 - Display flashes "thr 4 OFF" intermittently

[Jack Brindle]

 the behavior I might expect if a macro was being executed. Is it possible that you have one saved, either in the K3 or the computer that is set to trigger at the times you noted? Mostly they execute so fast you don’t see the activity, but if the K3 is busy it might slow down a ways. Band change is one of those times.

Pressing really hard would sometimes make it work.  The K-POD proved to be a work around, but the new connector pins on a trip to the factory for another problem solved it.
