K3 and Hamradio Deluxe

Since updating to FW 2.38, Hamradio deluxe is no longer able to connect with the K3. It says can't read K3 frequency OR the K3 is in "Memory Mode," whatever that means. The Elecraft Utility sees the K3 just fine.

Has anyone encountered this and resolved it?

tnx,

Fred

K3 Strange power switch behaviour

A funny thing just happened. I went to turn on the K3 for the first time
today and when I turned the psu on, the radio sprang to life straight away
without having to press the power button.

Than when I press the power button to switch the K3 off I get a bright blank
screen and it will not turn on again until I disconnect and reconnect the
12v psu!

Other than this behaviour, the K3 appears to function normally.

I did have to swap over the dsp boards yesterday but it functioned fine
immediately after that, I know it did because I had to update the firmware
on the dsp board and I cycled the power normally after doing it.

Any ideas? I'm confused. I have disconnected everything from the front and
back of the K3 apart from the powerpole and antenna.

Thanks and 73

Re: K3 Strange power switch behaviour

Sorry, but I jumped the gun a a bit with my last post. I have now turned
the alarm off and normal behaviour has returned! I find it odd however that
the K3 should behave in that way, in that with an alarm set it is necessary
to remove external power in order to get the radio to turn back on again. I
set the alarm last night, but it turned off normally then!

I have just set the alarm again - all behaving perfectly now! Very
strange...

I'd be grateful for a comment from Aptos!
