K3 stuck in transmit?

Ross Primrose
My K3 is stuck in transmit. As soon as it powers on, it goes straight
into transmit. Nothing I've tried has corrected the problem. At this
point, there's nothing connected to the K3 except power and a dummy
load, still can't get it out of transmit. Doesn't want to respond to the
serial port (when it's hooked up, of course) either.

Ideas?

Ross,

If you have everything disconnected from the K3 except power and a dummy
load, then I have no really good ideas of the cause.
Are you certain it is in Transmit?  Is there any power output developed?

If it is really in transmit and power out is developed, I would suggest
trying an EEINIT - hopefully you have a saved configuration file so you
don't have to do all the re-calibration process manually.  See the
manual section on Parameter Initialization for the steps involved.
