KX3 KXBC3 Error Code

[Reed Fite]

After installing the KXBC3 charger board I get in A VFO d=002 & B VFO
ERR BC3 when trying to enter the time. Firmware is 1.22. Tried
re-seating the board and re-installed firmware, but didn't fix the
error. The hour digit blinks once and while turning A VFO is when the
error occurs. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem?

This pretty much has to be a firmware bug at the MCU. So far we  
haven't been able to duplicate it, but we'll dig into it first thing  
tomorrow.

I installed mine tonight, added the standoff and lock washer from the
original board.  All went well, no error message time was kept, I was
already charged so I didn't try a charge cycle..

Mine went well too. I updated to the latest version first. I did charge for about 4 hours and the 2400 mah NiMH came up to 11.7 vdc. The next day I went to charge again just to see, and the charger posted an err which was because the battery voltage was already high I believe. That err occurs if they are already charged.
So all as expected.
