Is that blank 3.5mm plug a tip-sleeve or a tip-ring sleeve?    I believe it should be a tip-ring-sleeve type.

Hi Bill
There is no mic, just power, dummy load and blank 3.5 mm plug into the key jack, as suggested by Don.
VOX was off, but just turned it on and off, no VOX on the display.

Now, when I turn on the KX3, ,I get d=001 ERR KEY. Pressing disp a few times clears the d=001. As soon as I long press MENU, I get a string of dots.

Ken,

That message says the key or PTT jack is active, and the KX3 'thinks' the dot contact is closed.

Do you have a microphone plugged in?  If the PTT button is stuck, it will cause that error. If that is not the problem, do you have a stereo 3.5mm plug with nothing connected to it?  Plug it into the KEY jack and see if the problem stops. Check the front key jack (where the KXPD3 plugs in).  Is there anything shorting the jack (header).

If none of that helps, contact Elecraft support kx3supp...@elecraft.com

Hi guys. Well the move to FL went okay, but it looks like the KX3 does
not like the sunshine state.
I was setting up for the 10 meter contest, and the KX3 was acting
'funny'. When I turned it on, the display showed ERR KEY, with no key
plugged in. Tried EE INIT and reloading the configuration and firmware,
no change.
