Bob... On page 32, KE7X offers that key combination for "initializing parameters to the default setting." I'm not sure if that applied to my situation, but I was trying everything. I used that combination to get the radio to communicate with the Elecraft utility. I had done some other things, also, like removing a microHAM interface, installing a usb-serial adapter and running a straight cable. Now, which of these - including key push/hold - re-established computer-radio comm I can't say for sure. But, problem is now solved.
Regarding the manual, it's useful. There's a lot of added detail and discussion of various K3 topics which makes for interesting reading and, perhaps, better utilization of the radio's capability. YMMV. Have a good weekend. ...robert On 6/30/2012 18:32, Bob Cunnings wrote: > I find nothing in the K3 manual or K3 Utility regarding "PWR on/SHIFT > LO".
