K3 problem "ERR DLL"

[Ryszard Tymkiewicz]

I have been using K3 for MANY years and the first time I got a message
"ERROR DLL" ..there was a high noise level and I was not able to tune to
stations. It was in my second QTH..when I got back home seems everything
is OK. I don't know if it is a problem with contacts? If so which ones I
should clean?

ZDLL error sounds more like a Windows thing then a radio error.

Rys,

The first thing to try are the steps indicated in the K3 manual listing
of errors.

If those do not help, and this is an older K3, try removing the front
panel assembly (the KDVR3 manual page 7 has good instructions for doing
that).  If the pins on the front panel connector are tin plated, they
should be replaced with the gold pins (Elecraft has a kit).  In any
case, removing the front panel assembly and simply replacing it will
wipe oxidation from the pins and can restore proper operation.

Hi,

Are you sure that message wasn't "ERR PLL"? Do you have the older synth? It
has a PLL (phase locked loop) in it so that error message might make sense.
