Hi Jim,
Simply disengaging and re-engaging the front panel connector several times will often resolve the intermittent connection temporarily. But it will come back... Send your radio in for repair before it becomes a hard fault. If you have the old unreliable front panel connectors, your radio surely needs some additional upgrades too. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim McCook" <[email protected]> To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 6, 2020 2:11:33 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Spontaneous Failure Thanks to those who responded with good suggestions. This morning I turned it on and saw a different set of error codes, but there was audio. Powered off and on and saw MAIN freq display, but SUB had disappeared. More power off/on resulted in going back to normal operation. It has been fine for the last hour. Will try the re initialization if it fails again. It may be the pins on front panel as some have suggested. I hesitate to pull off the front panel, but will talk to a friend who assembled his K3 about that. 73, Jim W6YA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
