K3 #4951

Jettie Hill
HI SIG on readout.  Blocks the RX.  Sub RX seems to be OK, but things are going worse.

Can't access Config or Menu
No transmit output
Frequency readout reverses while tuning
Most button take 5 seconds after release
Sub RX seems to work, except no frequency display

Any ideas??

  Jetti,

It would seem that you are having a multitude of strange behaviors.  The
usual thing to try is an EEINIT, but before doing that, try to use K3
Utility to save your parameters (or better yet, have a prior
configuration save done before the problems surfaced).  Try an EEINIT
and restore your parameters from a known good working set if possible -
if you do not have a good set of saved parameters, you may have to
restore all your settings manually.

Things do not "go to hell in a handbasket" with multiple symptoms unless
the data tables get scrambled, and it sounds like you have multiple
problems there.

73,
