I second Ed's comments. Same problem here.

I've been having power on problems with my K3 since picking it up last
Thursday in Aptos. Initially, the problem was that it would not
power up
immediately upon pressing the POWER button. Sometimes the power on
would be
delayed and other times it just wouldn't happen. But, usually, after
several button presses, the power would come on.
Just now as I was proofing the manual and using the K3 in the
process, it
started acting up. Now, it is hard to get it to turn on and when I am
successful, it is locked up with no response from any of the buttons
or
knobs. It had MCU 1.17 and DSP 1.32 installed when I picked it up at
Elecraft. When you asked us to try MCU 1.18, I loaded it, but not
until you
put the second version up. The download appeared to work fine.
Currently, this K3 will only power on once after the APP power cord is
connected. Thereafter, I have to remove the power cord, reconnect
it and
then it will power up in its frozen state. The VFO-A and VFO-B
values are
what they were when the radio last worked. But the filter graphic and
filter icon (FL1, etc.) are completely blank. Also, the LEDs are on
full
bright, when I had them set for minimum brightness. The display is
also
fully bright.
I tried downloading MCU 1.18 again and got the 'Err DSE' in VFO-B.
Subsequent tries to download are unsuccessful ... they don't even get
started.
What can I do now?
Ed
