CONFIG Question

[Ron Wetjen]

Finished building my brand new K3 earlier today and am now at the "Test
and Calibration" point in the manual.

Radio powers up OK.

When I go into CONFIG the display reads

uC 04.86
FW REV5

Turning VFO B doesn't change the display (and turning VFO A doesn't
change the frequency).

Checked to make sure the VFO LOCK wasn't engaged ... they weren't.

The knobs and buttons all seem to be working.

Thoughts on what to check?

Ron, WD4AHZ

The uC 04.86 FW REVS is the firmware revision number.  From this screen
the VFO B knob should cycle through the config parameters and the VFO A
knob will cycle through the values available for the selected parameter.

 From the FW REVS screen, if rotate the VFO A knob clockwise a little,
it should change to something like "d1 02.83" which is the DSP firmware
revision.  I am curious if it will do this, but not change the frequency
when you exit the menu.

No, turning either VFO A or VFO B doesn't change anything when in CONFIG
mode.

Will try to take a look at the encoders later today and double check to
see that they are installed correctly.

Disassembled the front panel ... and reinstalled the encoders.  That
corrected the problem.  Both VFO's are working now.

On to the setup!
