K3 Static Electricity

Roy Morris-6
I have an early K3 that had the ESD problem.  I removed the front panel and board attached to the front panel.  I removed the VFO A encoder and burnished the paint off around the backside of the front panel encoder hole.  I have not had an ESD lockup since.
I also had an Omni VII that had the same problem.  Ten-Tec service said I could send it back to them, and they would see what they could do.  I sold the Omni VII.  Just be glad you have a K3.  It CAN be fixed.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
