KX3 -3 buttons don't seem to work

Neil Collesidis
Uh oh, I seem to have three buttons that stopped working on my KX3. The preamp and attenuator pushbuttons don't do anything either with a tap or a hold. The record/play message button doesn't do anything either. What do these three have in common? Everything else seems to be fine and I can change the settings with the PC. Anyone seen this before? Thanks, aa1sb Neil

Neil,

It sounds like you may have a button matrix decode failure - bad
connection, faulty soldering of the decode IC, I cannot say for certain.
Contact Elecraft support for further assistance.  If you are willing and
capable of handling such problems yourself, they can provide pointers
for you, otherwise you will likely have to send it in for repair.  If
for repair, you need to obtain an RSA number, and support is your first
contact for that process.
