All,
I just joined the list and have a factory assembled KX3 for about the last 8 months. KX3 has had little use as I worked on putting together the power supply and antenna. I have discovered a new issue and I am not sure what caused it.
I updated the firmware to the latest version last week of the release firmware.
I believe I turned it on after the firmware change, but not sure now.
I updated the heatsink to the one from ProAudioEng.
I added internal batteries 2500mAH to make use of the internal battery charger and RTC.
Symptoms on power up:
TX light stays solid red. triangle f (delta f) is solid orange. OFS and B square (square around B) are solid green. The KX3 would not power off, so I removed one of the internal batteries which allowed the unit to power down.
Thought issue was releated to internal batteries not being powered from a higher current source, so I put battery in and added external power. Same as before and had to remove battery to power off.
Went to just external power, issue remained but I was able to power off. Sometimes the KX3 power ups if I hold the buttons to turn it long enough.
Only change I did on the firmware beyond updating it was to have a startup message with my call.
I would appreciate any thoughts on where to start trying to figure out the issue.
Thanks,
