Hi Eric, >From the K3 operating manual Display error = "ERR KEY":
Problem - Attempt to key the transmitter or activate PTT during power-on Troubleshooting steps: Usually caused by an external device shorting KEY or PTT to ground; disconnect such devices until they're initialized properly. Also see CONFIG:PTT-KEY. If necessary, try removing the KIO3 module or its digital I/O daughter board. Check to see if your key is closed, or PTT is shorted or external software has RTS or DTR set to PTT the rig. Hope this helps, Frank - W6NEK ----- Original Message ----- From: "eric norris" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 8:22 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 locked up, ERR KEY in display My K3 is locking up and displaying ERR KEY in VFO B. It would not even respond to pressing the POWER button, I had to disconnect the power. After several power cycles it seems to be responding.
