I screwed up.

Playing around with my K3 serial # 756 and the setting for N1MM and changed the DTR-RTS, or PTT settings and now the radio is in transmit always on the 60 meter band and when I push the MENU, COFIG button, the firmware version comes up, but if I rotate the B VFO to try and get to some other menu item, it locks up, turning to the right bet to FL1 and locks and turing to the right byp kat3 and locks up. Is there some way to do a soft or hard reset and bring everything back to the default settings ??? Can't find it in the owners manual...sorry..

Re: I screwed up.

Paul,

Sorry for your predicament!
See "Parameter Initialization" on page 61 of the K3 manual, it explains
the reset procedure in detail. Too much to repeat here.

What happens if you just unplug the serial cable before you turn
on the rig?

Paul,

Make sure you don't have a key, keyer, or something else plugged in
that's continuously keyed. Might even been the computer, so try
disconnecting it. You might have the CONFIG:PTT-KEY menu entry set to
have the computer key the rig.

If you can't figure it out, email k3support.
