Hi Guys, I received a used K3/10 this week via UPS Ground and it arrived sick. The radio looks "Like New" even though it's an older unit: Serial 822. Perhaps the radio has the front panel "tin pin" problem? I'd appreciate you reviewing the following symptoms and let me know if you have any suggestions. Things that work: POWER button turns the radio on/off and the front panel Display lights and displays multiple items including Frequency. AF control turns the volume up/down. VFO A and VFO B knobs change frequency. Receives signals well, S-meter works fine, and CW stations have a nice clear tone. Things that don't work: the BAND, MENU, DISP as pressing these have no action. However, pressing some front panel buttons cause the wrong function, such as: pressing the XMIT button turns the PRE on/off and holding down the XMIT button turns on the ATT. Similarly, pressing the ATU button on/off switches the AGC from Fast/Slow. I once had a K3 get sick after being shipped cross country and the solution was to Reset the radio through the recommended Initialization process. However, I haven't been able to do an Initialization of this K3/10 because "pressing and holding down the SHIFT/LO button while pressing the POWER button" as the Manual instructs doesn't Initialize the radio as it should. Thanks in advance for your recommendations. Write direct if you wish: r...@aol.com 73, Dick- K9OM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
