ERR EE2

External EEPROM read/write test failed

EEPROM may be defective (front panel).
However, this message may also appear if
power is turned off/on too rapidly, or if the
power supply voltage “bounces” during
turn-on due to inadequate regulation. If the
power supply is not at fault, try re-loading
MCU firmware first; then try initializing
parameters (pg. 66).

ERR FP3

Missing display text in flash memory

Try re-loading FPF (flash memory).

ERR FW2

General firmware problem

Try re-loading MCU firmware first; then
try initializing parameters (pg. 66).

ERR IF1

RF board IF GROUP not responding (A6810
or KNB3-U2)

*De-install the KNB3 module on RF
board. Note: The K3 cannot be operated
without a KNB3, because this module
includes T-R switching circuitry. Do not
attempt to bypass it using jumpers.

ERR IF2

Sub RX IF GROUP not responding (A6810 or
KNB3-U2)

*De-install the KNB3 module on KRX3
first (tap SUB when in the KNB3 menu
entry). Note: The sub receiver can be
operated without a KNB3 if a jumper is
placed between pins 1 and 7 of J78 on the
KRX3 module.

ERR IO1

MISO line stuck low (asserted)

*De-install option modules one at a time.
If no failing option module can be found,
there may be a problem on the RF board.

ERR IO3

KIO3 not responding

The KIO3 may be defective. Note: The K3
can be operated temporarily without the
KIO3 installed. You’ll need to use
headphones, and there will be no computer
or AF I/O available on the rear panel.

ERR KEY

ERR PTT

Attempt to key the transmitter or activate PTT
during power-on

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.

ERR LPF

No response from LPF shift registers

*De-install option modules one at a time.
If no failing option module can be found,
there may be a problem on the RF board.

ERR PA1

KPAIO3 module not responding

*De-install the KPA3 module and set
CONFIG:KPA3 to

PAI O ON

. If this

eliminates the error message, the problem
is likely to be on the KPA3 module. If not,
the problem may be on the KPAIO3
module; remove it as well, and set
CONFIG:KPA3 to

NOT INST

.
