K3 Power Switch

Robert M. Weiman
Folks,

 

I went to turn off my K3 (S/N 417) with its power switch (as I always do)
but the radio immediately restarted with its normal clicking and LEDs
flashing. That appears to be my new normal; I can only shut the K3 down via
the power supply.

 

I recall someone having this problem before but I can't remember who it was
or how it was resolved. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Bob, N2UU

I had a similar problem with Pin 8 on the accessory port being grounded by way of an interface it was testing.

I snipped Pin 8 out of the DE-9 connector and the K3 went back to normal behavior.

Do you have anything on the ACC socket?
