Specifically the front panel button to select shift Lo Hi Width do not toggle. Only stays in FC or BW.
Did a firmware reload (newest from web) and no change. What’s the fix?

In my case the 4 rotary encoders had to be replaced.

Mark,
What is the serial number of your K3? Later K3s above serial number approximately 4000-4100 have a different encoder. My serial # 3505 had to have the encoders replaced. The new encoders are apparently more robust. I have not had any trouble with the encoders on K3 serial #7436. My brother-in-law now has K3 serial #3505 and has not had any problems since their replacement in 2015. 73, Mark, WB9CIF -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Christian Friess Sent: Monday, November 18, 2019 18:15 To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 push buttons no longer workin In my case the 4 rotary encoders had to be replaced. 73 de Chris, DL2MDU Am 18.11.2019 um 17:44 schrieb Mpridesti via Elecraft: > Specifically the front panel button to select shift Lo Hi Width do not toggle.

Mark,
Replace the encoder with its built-in switch. While you are at it, you may as well replace all 4 of them. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/18/2019 11:44 AM, Mpridesti via Elecraft wrote: > Specifically the front panel button to select shift Lo Hi Width do not toggle.

Hate to have to send it back to the factory at this time of the year. Is there a work around?

It is probably a bad encoder. Leaky pushbutton disrupting the switch matrix.
To confirm, try the switchtest in the config menu. If switchtest is OK, some modes don't allow you to change the width, try SSB I believe. If it is the encoder, replace all 4. If it is an older radio, send it in and we can do it, and there are a lot of updates and optional upgrades.

You might be able to use a radio control program (HRD being one) since
the controls simply tell the CPU what to do. Not ideal but you'd be on the air again while researching a proper fix. 73 Rick NK7I On 11/18/2019 11:46 AM, Mpridesti via Elecraft wrote: > Hate to have to send it back to the factory at this time of the year.
