Occasional K3 error messages on startup

[Dave Hachadorian-2]

For the past month or so, when I turn on one of my K3’s, I sometimes get an ERR BP1 message.  If I then press DISP, I get a series of different error messages, and then finally the VFO B frequency is displayed, and the rig seems to work normally.  The sequence of ERR messages is
BP1
LPF
IO3
IF1
XV3
AT3
PA1
Normal Operation

If I turn off the radio and turn it back on again, thus far it has come up normally every time on the restart.

Any ideas about what could be causing this?  This K3 does not have gold front panel pins.  I was thinking of removing/reinstalling the front panel or repeating the calibration procedures.  Suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks.

Dave,

The place to start is putting the gold pins in your K3.
If that does not help, then contact support.
