K3: ERR PL1

After upgrading to 2.02 firmware I get the error message "ERR PL1"
when I go to 12 meters in SSB mode. The message stays on the screen
for a few seconds.

Anybody else see this?

Re: K3: ERR PL1

I had the same happen to me after going to 2.02, except for me it was on
40m. Whichever direction I approached the band from it happened just as you
describe. Odd thing is, without any action on my part it went away and
never came back!

I am wondering if I had powered the off and then on again after the firmware
upload?

Stephen,

I did the on/off process, but no change. 12 meters works just fine...
I am talking there now!

Joe:
I would suggest that you redo the CONFIG:VCO MD procedure (pg 46 of the
Owner's Manual).

This is too spooky for words. Just for fun when I saw your reply Joe I
qsy'd from 10 down to 12 and there was the error- I swear it was not there
when I had the same issue with 40 before.

Now, two minutes after typing the above paragraph, the problem on 12m has
disappeared as mysteriously as it had on 40m. However, it does appear if I
turn the K3 off and then back on again, but not as I go from 10 to 12 or
from 15m! Must be time for a glass of something soothing!

But as you say, the radio still seems to work. Bit of a bug somewhere I
should think!

Ken

I don't know about Joe, but that makes no difference for me. The appearance
of the error message is still there but now only when I turn the radio on
and it is already on 12m. Strange. Never mind.....

Ken,

Did the CONFIG:VCO MD procedure, and now I do not see the error
messaage. So it looks like that fixed the problem.

Joe:

Refer to the Manual, and run VCO MD as directed there.

That did it for me... last night, for that matter.
