In case anyone else has this "ERR AT3 ERR PL1" error on power up

[ww2r2]

turned off/uplugged the k3 last night, all was working well

Turned on the K3 this morning, had both error messages "ERR AT3" and "ERR
PL1"

"ERR PLI" was the most immediate, in this state there was no main vfo
tuning, so I consulted the manual

did a "config: vco md" recalibration of vco1. It failed with error message
err05 on the display

just on a hunch, I wondered if  anything memory wise had got corrupted so I
reloaded ALL the 3.14/dsp2.16 software

After finishing, i had NO "ERR AT3" error, but i did still have the "ERR
PL1" error.  I wasnt too surprised at the latter error as it had just failed
calibration

redid the "config: vco md" recalibration of vco1, it passed this time

On power off/on no error messages

All is now well again in the land of the K3

Incident cost me 30 minutes of valuable painting time before the texas heat
calls a timeout!
