Let me add my recommendation *against* doing Parameter Initialization (EE INIT) for the K3 or the KX3 - the same also applies to a "Master Reset" for the K2. It is to be used only as a last resort - if you have saved the configuration at a time when all was working just fine, it is not a big deal to reload that configuration file.
It will be of no benefit to do a configuration save just before doing the EE INIT because restoring that configuration is quite likely to repeat the error. In the case of the K2, there is a nice chart for recording your menu settings in the K2 A to B mod instructions. You could record the K3 menu settings in a similar manner, but there is no convenient form for that. Yes, when doing a K2 repair, I may do a Master Reset "just because" -- I will be going through all the alignment and calibration procedures anyway, and it is easy for me - I have had a lot of practice with over 700 repairs - it is not as easy for the unpracticed owner. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/30/2012 3:31 PM, Howard Stephenson wrote: > At K3 Support we very rarely ask someone to do the Parameter > Initialization (EE INIT) > If you did not have a good CONFIG file saved you could spend a good hour > turning options back on, redoing calibrations and filter set up. > If the K3 has a problem or a small glitch trying to reload the firmware > can make it lock up in the MCU LD. > If your not sure of what's wrong before you reload the firmware or do a > EE INIT please don't hesitate drop us an e-mail at <[email protected]> > We are there to help you! > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
