Thanks Fred -
When I get time, I might just pull the radio out of the rack and
remove/reset those pins...
Yeah, in the 'olden days' (mid 80s in my case) I was a bench tech fixing
dumb terminals from airports, among other things..they were connected to
each other in a daisy-chained serial 'party
Thanks Jack. I've never used macros, and none are shown in the K3 utility,
so I don't think that's the issue. I've identified at least 4 ways to
trigger the strange behavior from the front panel, and one via CAT.

Much of the K3 functionality as a radio is analog on the main RF board
[well, except for the DSP of course]. I believe that many [most?] of
the signals on the Coveted Golden Connector Pins are digital chatter
between the brains and the other parts of the radio that tell them what
to do but
the behavior I might expect if a macro was being executed. Is it possible that
you have one saved, either in the K3 or the computer that is set to trigger at
the times you noted? Mostly they execute so fast you don’t see the activity,
but if the K3 is busy it might slow down a ways. Band
I thought about that, Fred, but my serial number is in the low 8000s. I
assembled the kit. It came with the gold pins.
Could still be a bad connection I suppose. I've found at least 4 different
ways to trigger the behavior, but it doesn't seem to affect any
functionality.

Has your K3 received the coveted Golden Connector Pins? Mine [S/N 642]
began doing things like that, especially on the BAND+/- and MODE +/-
buttons. Pressing really hard would sometimes make it work. The K-POD
proved to be a work around, but the new connector pins on a trip to the
factory

Thanks Keith - I totally missed that in the manual, as it's been a long
time since I've used the decode feature. I tried changing the threshold to
Auto...now I get the same behavior as before, except when it flashes it
says thr Auto. So it's definitely showing me that menu setting, but I have
no
That "thr 4" is from the TEXT DEC settings.
Long press CWT/0 (zero) button to see the setting.
I would think it would not do anything if "OFF", but try setting the
upper to AUTO or something.
There is a ton of info in the manual...
