Strange CW from K2, K3 or KX3 ?

[Robin Kiszka]

Hi,

 

I recently had a battery pack issue with my K2. Replaced the battery and all seems OK.

Noticing that the Clock function said the battery on the PCB was not powering I also replaced that (twice) – still the EE-EE-EEEE message is displayed.

 

But most strange is that one of the radios, and I suspect it is the K2, gives a very low volume yet audible CW message that says something like HMS

This happens every few minutes, and I have searched and searched and found nothing about it?

Any ideas?

Maybe Hours Minutes Seconds?  Something to do with a clock?

Robin,

That messsage is displayed when the small clock battery has been
replaced and the clock has not yet been set.

If you have the KAF2, see the KAF2 manual for the clock setting
procedure - follow the instructions EXACTLY.  You must set the date
before the time.

If you have the KDSP2, follow the instructions in the KDSP2 manual.

Manuals can be downloaded from the Elecraft website if you do not have a
printed copy.
