Dick,
Even though the FP LCD does not light up, Do you see anything on the display
like MCU LD?

Dick. Any luck on this yet? If not, you may need to adjust the
spacking of the L1 winding on the SYN board that is attached to the DSP
shield. If that's the case, when we hear back (please use reply all)
and Gary or I will send you exactly what to do.

Until yesterday morning, I hadn't gotten past the VCO test. It was
consistent with the following error messages:
E 00005
ERR VCO
E 00255
ERR VC4
I ran the test this morning with no error message, however instead of
clicking along at a very good clip, it began with the word "busy" and
then a slow count up to cal 127 and then to frequency readout normally.
I can now hear traffic (net on 3.905 mc)!
Well then I got home this evening and found the K3 doa. When I push the
"Power" button, there's a bit of a draw on the power supply and I hear a
relay clicking, but the front panel will not light and no functions are
available. I tried going through the Theory in the manual and scoured
the schemagics, but can't figure out the power distribution architecture.
This bums me out since I finally got the REF and SYN to play nice and I
was getting into listening to ssb net traffic (and the ball game).
I have a call in to Aptos, but they're on the other coast and I think
they probably went home (if they have any sense). Does anyone on the
list have any ideas?

News flash!!! While tilting the radio on its hind feet and pressing the
power button, while attempting to read a possibly unlit LCD, the damn
thing turned on!!
I will not turn it off unless I must until I have performed whatever
adjustment you recommend.
