Hi all, last evening I switched on my K3 and got direct "HI SIG" in the display. I dsconnected all cables but still the same. K3 is not RXing anything anymore. Strange thing is that the morning I was operating my K3 (serial # 5776) as normal and switched off after. 4 days before I updated

Do you have *anything* connected to the RX ANT or the unused TX antenna jack? The K3 is "thinking" it sees a high RF level on the receive input. Remove everything from the K3 except the power and see if you still have the problem. The reconnect each cable one at a time and test again.

Recently after updating firmware I started getting a HI SIG error in the Display's VFO B position when I power up the K3. I can power down the K3 with the HI SIG error showing, then immediately power it back on, and all works fine. Tried removing all antennas and 6m preamp, no change. Reloaded

Thanks to Gary Surrency, the Hi Sig displays at last disappeared and the rig works normally. Gary said the KPIO3 could be the cause of the trouble. So, I uninstalled it, as well as the 100w module, downloaded the DSP firmware, and restarted the K3 in the 10 w config'. All went well, so I

My K3 refuses to go any further than : HI SIG when I switch it on. No control works, and if I want to switch it off with the power button, just the digits, letter and icons disappear, but the display is still lit up. I have to switch the PS off to stop it ! Did it happen to someone ?

I just grabbed a signal generator from work and brought it home... Turned on the preamp and at about .320mV rms I got a HI SIG warning and poof the preamp was disabled. Then turned the signal up further yet. I didn't note the point at which it turned off exactly but it was just over 2Vrms.
