Dave, If you really mean that nothing but power is connected, then your K3 has a problem and it is time for an email to [email protected]. But, if you have a key or paddle connected, or a microphone connected or the RS-232 cable connected, try disconnecting those first. ERR PTT says something is trying to key the K3 at the time you power on - it will inhibit everything until the key closure is cleared. Key closure can be actual key, paddles, PTT or DTR/RTS keying through the serial port. Check that nothing is contacting the XMIT button too.
