I just tryed to do a restore configuration with the k3 utility and no go .

get a message   ( NO RESPONSE TO WRITE EEPROM BLOCK )

[KD7PY]

Just tried to do the ( PARAMETER INITALIZATION ) per the manul...

when powering on a holding shift-lo knob in I get  EE INT,  norm,   hi sig     one message,  one after another..

still locked up.   looks like I might have to send it to the boys at Elecraft.  hope I can do the repair myself
if not to involved.

Ed,

Remove all coax and other cables except power from the K3, then connect
a dummy load.
If the HI SIG message is still present, it is likely there is an
internal K3 problem.
If the message goes away, start connecting things one at a time to
determine which is causing the problem.

Well I disconnected all the cables except the power cable and still no go.

don't know if the problem is on the DSP board,  if it is I sure would like to upgrade with the new DSP board which won't be available for sale for upgrade's     could Eric swing some weight..???
