I completed the assembly of my new KX3 yesterday. When turning on the
KX3 I get an immediate ERR IOA d=001. If I tap the Disp/Menu button it
changes to ERR IOB d=001. I have checked the cable between the Control
Panel board and the RF Board several times. A third tap of the Disp/menu
button takes me to the configuration menu.
I had initially installed the ATU, the filter board and the battery
charger and as soon as I turned on the power I saw the error messages. I
had done the configuration to turn on these three accessories. After
removing the three accessories I removed the configuration for them by
changing them to "not inst".
I next updated the microcode for the MCU from 1.26 to 1.27. Errors
remained. Then I did the EEINIT procedure but the errors remained.
The troubleshooting section of the manual shows the ERR IOA and ERR IOB
entries but does not speak to d=001.
I installed the NiMH batteries after I had completed assembly. I
attempted to charge them but the charge voltage went from 10.2 V to 11.4
V over a 16-hour charge cycle. The batteries were obtained from Radio
Shack and were the Enercell 2500 mAh AA cells.
During the assembly I was VERY careful about ESD. I did the assembly on
an anti-static mat and always wore the wrist-strap.
Any help would be much appreciated.
