[K3 Remote] Scrolling VFO B Message "UPDATE K3 UTILITY"

Rick Tavan-2
I just started up my K3-K3 RemoteRig setup and got E 040AA8 in the VFO A area and a perpetually scrolling, puzzling message "UPDATE K3 UTILITY" in the VFO B area. I power-cycled the rigs and all was well. I've had a number of other, similarly puzzling but different startup glitches recently involving an E message in VFO A and a loss of audio, also repairable by power cycling. I suspect it's a comm glitch, possibly not specifically related to K3 Remote components, but report it here in case it helps efforts to make the product more robust in the face of such errors.

I also use a K3-K3 RemoteRig system.  Haven't had the problem Rick  
describes, but have had the system suddenly turn off the receiver on all  bands.  
Power-cycled and no change (tx functions all work).   Accidentally hit the
shift knob and suddenly audio returned!   Happened  a second time a few days
later and just slight movement on the  shift returned to normal!  I did note
that the shift function had  dramatically and mysteriously moved.  The first
time this happened I did  upgrade to latest OS, but did not upgrade the RRC
boxes.  Anyone else see  anything like this?
