Sounds like you got scrambled firmware.  Redownload the firmware. Then
follow the instructions on page 45 of the newest K3 User's Manual, in
particular the part about forcing a firmware download.

Harry,

Do you have a recent K3 configuration saved somewhere?  If not, try to
save the configuration using K3 Utility.
Then I would suggest doing an EEINIT followed by a new firmware load and
a configuration restore.
Read page 65 of the K3 manual before doing an EEINIT so you will know
what needs to be done if the saved configuration brings your K3 back to
the same condition it is in right now.

73,

> Guy, Thanks, but don't think that's it.  I installed the new firmware several days ago and the radio worked just fine. Even this morning it was okay. I took a 3 hour break and when I returned the buttons didn't function or function correctly. I've downloaded and installed all firmware 4 times. No change. Harry WE1X
