KX 3 Intermittent problem power up problem
 
|
Has anyone with a KX3 experienced this problem? When turning the kx3 on with theband- and atu tune buttons the back ground leds come on but no screen display. Removing the power cable and letting it sit there disconnected for a few hours and then when power up is turned on everything starts working just fine. This occurs intermittently several times a day.
Have performed the parameter initialization as per the instructions on page 46 of the manual and upgraded to the latest firmware version but no help.. the problem still exists. Any suggestions short of sending it back to Elecraft. S/N 6652. Tnx for reading it.Lou KI6UM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I have not run into this. Are you running the most recent stable firmware?
How are you supplying power to your unit? Do you have the battery module option installed?

Sorry just saw you were running the most recent firmware. Since that's a
non-issue (again, apologies for not reading thoroughly enough) question still remains re: power supply/battery unit. My question is - if you can run off a different power source do you see the same behavior? On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 9:07 PM, David Orman <[hidden email]> wrote: > I have not run into this.

Are you using the power cable supplied by Elecraft? If you inadvertently try to use a 2.5mm inner diameter plug on the KX3's 2.1mm pin diameter socket, it will seem to fit but the connection may be poor and may result in strange behaviour.

Re: "When turning the kx3 on with theband- and atu tune buttons the back ground leds come on but no screen display. Removing the power cable..."
Open the case and be sure the multi-pin connector on the cable that connects the two halves is firmly engaged. I had a similar problem that I traced to the connector not being fully plugged in. Hope this helps.
