K3 - front panel issue (update)
UPDATE:
I did a CPU reset (NORM / POWER ON) and the first time nothing changed. The second time the RATE button worked once. Then no others worked, nor did the RATE. So, I did a third RESET – and now everything is working. Before doing the reset I saved my configuration and then reloaded it. Everything still is working.
However - - When doing the resets at NO TIME did the EE INIT message get displayed on the front panel.
Strange – but working.
Now…. Should I load the latest version of microcode…or wait a couple days to see if the problem(s) come back?
I am waiting….

Subject: K3 - front panel issue
I just noticed that after a fun and uneventful (no failures) weekend of ARRL SS CW one of my K3s has developed a strange symptom. I have done nothing other than turn the K3 off last night and then on this morning.
Perhaps I pushed something by mistake, but I have no idea what that could have been. I have turned the K3 off/on but have not yet done a CPU reset.
K3# 1193
Running: 2.46 code
The following buttons are failing and the others seem to be working fine.
Failing buttons:
Band / Mode: the right side of the buttons don’t work
MODE (the up side) – down works fine
TEST – does not function
BAND (the up side) – down works fine
QSK – does not work
Other buttons:
SPOT/PITCH – no impact to either function
NR/ADJ – no impact when pushed
RATE/LOCK – neither function works
ANT – locked on Ant 1, will not select Ant 2
Anyone have any suggestions???
Thanks,
Bruce – N1LN
