Just purchased a NIB P3 for my K3S station. Love it!
Question - is it normal for it to initially power on with a bright white screen while it loads? This is very brief, but sure makes a flash. If normal, then so be it. It is powered from the DC jack on the K3S. I always switch the station supply on first and then the radio. Thus the KAT500 and P3 are powered from the same switched source. I did update it to the latest firmware as it came to me with older version. 73 Bob, K4TAX ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
Mine does this. The white screen has gone though by the time my finger
comes off the K3 power button, replaced with a P3 boot loader message, that's also gone very quickly.

Thanks Martin.
Just wondering if it is normal. From the reports, it is. Thanks to all. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 25, 2018, at 10:21 PM, Martin Sole <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Mine does this.
