I've not seen that myself, Gerry. Since you know it's not shorted, suggest you:
1) Check power at the holder terminals and not just across the battery? If you have the KRX3, it's not too hard to accidentally slip the battery shield in between the battery and the contact, effectively disconnecting the battery from the rig. 2) Is the battery in the right way around (polarity correct)?

Since I didn't buy my K3 to be a $3000 clock/calendar, this is not a big problem but a minor annoyance. When I turn the power off and turn it back on the date normally goes to "12.19.01" (US Format) and the Time to "15:11:22" although the last four digits are normally different. The battery is not shorted and seems to be able to retain VFO memories and other setting just fine.I just installed the sub-receiver, but this problem was there since I first built the K3 in August 2008. I haven't seen any threads of a similar problem so any suggestions would be appreciated.
