Over the past several weeks, and especially during the NA Sprint CW contest last Saturday night, I've noticed spontaneous brief flashing of the HI CURR warning *in receive mode*, which is accompanied by an immediate reduction in headphone audio (though not complete loss of audio). It is as though the receiver's RF attenuator was switched in after the HI CURR warning was flashed.
My K3/10 is up to date on all firmware and has a serial number in the 66XX range if I recall properly. I have yet to discern any correlation with transmit mode behavior, which has never displayed a HI CURR warning. My gut instinct is that this may be one of those pin corrosion symptoms, especially since I've had some strange responses to front panel button presses that are not repeatable. The receive audio seems to come back, but I can't tell why or when in relation to anything I've done with the radio controls........ Has anyone else seen the HI CURR warning displayed only in receive mode with accompanying loss of receive signal strength? I've searched the archives and found plenty of discussion about HI CURR warnings, but nothing quite matches my K3's observed behavior in receive mode.
