KX3 self activites

[Dennis L. Haarsager]

In the past couple of weeks, in which I've otherwise not used my KX3, I've
noticed that it had turned itself on three or four times while connected to
an AC supply.  I've since turned the power off on the p.s.  To my
knowledge, we've not had any power outages in that time.

Nothing seems to be amiss with the radio's performance other than that.
 But I either have a poltergeist in the basement or something weird is
going on with the radio.

Any thoughts?

Hi Dennis,

You should probably check the ALARM menu function.  The KX3 might also
be detecting a remote power on event at the MIC PTT input.  Pages 21
and 28 of the owner's manual give information about these functions.

I worked at KSBY-TV supporting myself in college.  In the control room,
large windows in the hall behind me, the transmitters were on the other
side of the hall.  Many meters, had to read and log them every half
hour.  Late at night, studying physics while on network with nothing
local to do, I got this eerie feeling that all the meters were totally
wrong and getting worse.  I never could turn around quickly enough to
catch them at it.

Just say'in Dennis ...

Another Cal Poly grad? I was an EL major there from 1963 to 1965, US Navy
from 1965-1969, and Math / Comp Sci from 1968-1971. It's a great place,
isn't it?

I remember a drive up Cuesta Grade and up the hill to KSBY once, we took a
two meter radio and some sort of antenna up on that hill for some event.  It
was a long time ago, I can't remember why.  But we visited the transmitter
site and I remember we were invited in.
