K3: E 0400Cd ERR DSE

[K2QI]

Was in the middle of a 10m QSO tonight, and all of sudden no power.  Got
this message on the LCD:

 

E 0400Cd ERR DSE

 

Don't have a manual in front of me, so I'm not able to check at the moment.
This is the first time I've come across such an error in the time I've had
my K3.

 

I was running about 5 watts.  Antenna SWR was 1.2:1.  Firmware is 3.10

 

Any thoughts?  I'm going to try to upgrade to 3.11 tonight to see if this
happens again.

 

73,

OK, found the manual and it turns out that it was a DSP issue.  Strange.
That's never happened before with any firmware prior to 3.10.  Anyone come
across anything similar?

 

I'm in the process of upgrading to 3.11 and will keep an eye on things to
see if it happens again.

James,

ERR DSE indicates a DSP firmware problem (no response).  Consider also
that you could have a corrupt file on your computer.  So yes, download a
new copy (or the new beta version) and re-load the K3.  Be certain to
load the DSP Data Tables too.
