First of all let me say thanks to all those who've contacted me with
suggestions and words of encouragement.
Spoke with Dale at Elecraft (nice guy). Apparently #2737 suffered the
dreaded switching matrix failure and needs to be sent back for repair. I say
dreaded simply because it affects me and
Well, I've reloaded all firmware about 6 times and even did a force firmware
load, but no fix. Connected the K3 to HRD and the available HRD controls
function with the K3. Consequently, I think this is a hardware failure of
some sort where the front panel buttons don't work and/or are incorrectly
Upgraded to latest firmware the other day. All seemed to be fine. A few
minutes ago I noticed the macros that I programmed into the K3 were not
working. Then I noticed that if I pushed say the XMIT button the pre-amp

save the configuration using K3 Utility.
Then I would suggest doing an EEINIT followed by a new firmware load and
a configuration restore.
Read page 65 of the K3 manual before doing an EEINIT so you will know

I have six switches on my front panel that suddenly stopped working. I'm
waiting for a break in the contest season to send the rig in for repair.

You can send cat commands to simulate a press of an encoder. See page 17

Good afternoon.
I run my K3 on and off with TRX Manager. This is great software and works very
well.
Last week whilst working on 80m (500W) I had some RF feedback which locked up

Then I noticed that the frontpanel of the K3 did
