2013-07-14 Thread Curt Knight
Aloha, I have been having a similar problem, 15 seconds of normal operation on CW then an audible relay click and RF power drops to zero, but the K3 remains in transmit and goes through all the motions. However I have not received the ERR FW2. Maybe it's time to try returning to an older
