My KX3 has developed a problem after a power interrupt/restore carried out by my mistake. With batteries fitted it will no longer fully power down, it stays orange with (7) ******* stars showing on screen and Delta f light on and OFS and B green lights on. I have to disconnect all power to the unit to fully shutdown ie pull out one battery and no external supply.
i have run utility and down loaded the latest firmware programes several times with no success as per page 25 of the manual. On re establishing power to KX3 either external or battery radio starts up automatically and is working. i would be great full of any suggestions from the group. regards Bernie MW0GBW ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
Bernie,
Do you have a saved configuration file for that KX3 from a time it was working properly? If so, you can do an EEINIT (Reset to Factory Defaults) - see the manual for the procedure. The reset will lose the calibration data and any menu settings that you have added. That is why the saved configuration file is important - restore the configuration file using KX3 Utility. If you have no other recourse, you can request the factory configuration file from [hidden email]. Be sure to specify your serial number. If the EEINIT does not correct it, you can ask for an RSA to send it in for service. If you prefer, it can be sent to the service facility in Italy. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/18/2019 5:57 PM, BERNARD COLLINS via Elecraft wrote: > My KX3 has developed a problem after a power interrupt/restore carried out by my mistake.
