Pete,
ERR KEY indicates that the K3 is detecting a key or paddle or PTT
closure when it powers up.
If you have the PTT-KEY menu set to anything other than OFF-OFF, your
computer may be causing that problem when it boots because the computer
'exercises' the RS-232 signals at boot time.
To test whether it is a jack in the K3 or an external device that is
causing the problem:
Remove all cables except power and a dummy load.
Then power cycle the K3 several times (enough to define your
"occasionally").
If no problem found, connect your devices one at a time and repeat the
power cycling until you discover which one is causing the problem.

When using the K3 on SSB with a condenser mike I am occasionally getting an
ERR KEY error and the vox does not trigger. The manual talks about
attempting to key the PTT but I do not use it on SSB. The K3 is connected
to a micro Keyer II and it does trigger PTT on CW. I do not use any voice
connection between the K3 and my computer or other equipment.
