KX3 - S/N 2917 - FW v2 .19 - DSP 1.3.

*Especially to all that responded to call for "HELP"​:*

*I don't know how my face can be more RED-DER: it's probably along the
lines of FIRE ENGINE RED!.  [I knew better!]  I don't belong in this FB
fraternity of other FB Operators.*

*I had somehow turn OFF the VOX setting and therefore I could not get my
beloved KX3 to transmit in CW (ME - DUMMKOPF!).  When I "turned on" VOX
I CAN now transmit in CW!*

*THANKS to all responded to this Old Man's (84) cry for HELP!  I WON'T be
needing the RSA from the gentleman, Howard - K6IA at Elecraft who so
generously offered the pricing and the promise of securing the RSA.
{So Howard - K6IA, please disregard the RSA] I hate all the work I caused
you, Howard.*

Re:  I don't know how my face can be more RED-DER...

Most of us have done something similar, Jim.  I thought one of the LCD segments on the s-meter had developed a case of "always on disease", until Wayne (and a few others) suggested I return the RF gain to 0db.  That fixed the radio, but it took a while to return my face to its original color!

My K3 quit working on 30m.  Eventually, it got to Wayne, he called me,
first question was, "Let's start easy, which antenna is selected?"

It's an old trap.  A friend called and said his new radio quit working on all bands but 17M?????  Yep he forgot to change the antenna selection when he went to the other bands.  On 17M, he used a different dipole on ANT2.  Oooopps.

Yup. I hit the RX ANT button in the dark one night and wondered
why I couldn't receive anything on that band. The trouble
shooting section in the manual set me right, so it wasn't too public.

Yes, I have found this to be the pattern for me as well.  The only
component on my K3 that intermittently fails is the one between my ears.
 I am looking for a warranty replacement, but supplies seem to be
unavailable.
