I've used toothpaste for years to polish plastic. Works fine. No harsh

Just for future reference - Does loading a previously saved config file
restore all settings that were reset by powering up with EDIT pressed?

Hi Erwin;
You probably have a shorted D12 on the KPA3, and maybe an identical one
on the RF board near power connector, D28.
These go short from over-voltage.
I would check your voltage! These clamp and short at just above 15V.
They should be replaced. You can clip out if you need to operate

There's something about having all your gear lined up nicely in the shack,

that happens. So I finally have everything on a 3-high shelving unit that

Given that the "test pattern" may be caused by an extreme LCD contrast setting
I'd suggest checking the contrast voltage that is derived from PWM signal

The schematic shows VLCD range is 3 - 6.5 V.

Brilliant, Thank you Don.
Just ordered one. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get one now
and having not used the K3 in the shack for a bit, but performed an upgrade on
my Mac OS, knew I would have trouble with my original KUSB, so wanted to switch
to a USB interface.
Happy Days…

Yes, that is correct.
