You may have broke the DSP firmware by keeping a key pressed too long.

Power down, remove from power for 30 seconds, then power up while holding the 
VFO button unfilled you hear a response from the speaker.

Then try a reload.

Hi Gary,

I was using text decode on transmit when suddenly very few of the buttons on 
the front panel of the K3 would perform their normal function. Some produced no 
response ie - MENU and CONFIG do not work at all, SUB does not work at all. 
Many buttons produce a response which is completely different from their 
intended function.  The K3 is totally unusable.
I tried to install the latest firmware and got the following on the K3 screen:

E O2OCOC
ERR DSE
Firmware failed to load

I now have a very expensive piece of equipment that is totally unusable.

I have the KAT500 on order but I am wondering if I should cancel that order as 
I will not be able to use it.

Can you please advise me of a way forward?
