Bob,
How old is your K3? Your description sounds like an occasional problem
I experience ... I tap one key [say PRE], and something else happens.
I've been told that replacing the pins on the FP connector with gold
plated ones will correct the problem and that Elecraft supplies them
free, but I haven't done it yet. I've also found that those switches I
use the most stay more reliable than those I rarely use.
Try really TAPPING the Mx switches ... hard. The switches behind the
panel are not hermetically sealed, and I find that really positive
action on them will correct the problem or at least make it rare. You
may need to fasten your K3 to the desk with a couple of tabs of
sticky-back velcro to be able to make the switch actions positive enough.
73,

Please help, it must be 78-year-old pilot error.
Using the K3 Utility I programmed CW message 1 with a CQ message.
I programed CW message 2 with 5NN. I then saved both messages.
When I tap Message 1 I get a row of dashes and RX EQ 1 displayed.
When I tap Message 2 I get 10db and ATTEN displayed.
I am in CW mode and of course no playback.
