K3 - odd display problem

Hi folks; my K3 has developed an odd problem with its display...

In the VFO B portion of the display, it occasionally flickers from
displaying the VFO B frequency, to showing WWWWWWW.

Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea of what's up, or how to
fix it?

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

Sounds like you have text decode turned on.

Greg,

thanks for the idea, but text decode is off (I am in USB as well), and
it seems to do it less when fully warmed up, so I suspect that is not it.

Any other ideas out there?

Re: K3 - odd display problem

What happens if you tap DISP? Do you see the alternate VFO B display
things, like PLL, AFV, etc?
