K3 VFO B Not Working

wa1jxr


I have a K3 SN 1553

When I first power up the K3 the VFO B works correctly.

After about 1 minute it starts to get eratic and then stops working completly.

I have re-loaded the latest (non Beta) Firmware.

I checked to to see that the VFO B encoder is properly seated to the connector.

Seems like a temperature related problem. FP temp is normal 27 C

Has anyone seen a similar problem or have any hints where to start troubleshooting?



Thanks,  Greg WA1JXR

Greg,

We had a couple of VFO encoders fail; the manufacturer found the
problem and corrected it. We can send you a replacement. Please contact

tnx
