Troubleshooting steps
ERR 12V
The circuit breaker on the KPA3A module
may be open. PA drops into bypass mode, fans
switch to level 2, and PA temp display mode is
not available.
Check for short from PA module’s 12V
line to ground. If there’s no short, try
resetting the circuit breaker. If there is a
short, remove the KPA3A module. Set
CONFIG:KPA3 to PAIO ON. While
waiting for a replacement, you can use the
K3S at reduced power.
ERR AT3
KAT3A not responding
*De-install the KAT3A module (see
above). If this eliminates the error
message, the KAT3A may be defective.
You can substitute a KANT3 antenna input
module temporarily, if available.
ERR BP1
No response from RF board BPF shift registers
*De-install option modules one at a time
ERR BP2
No response from KBPF3A option shift
registers
*De-install KBPF3A on RF board
ERR BP3
No response from sub RX BPF shift registers
*De-install the KRX3A module, including
the SUBIN and SUBOUT boards
ERR BP4
No response from sub RX KBPF3A option
*De-install the KBPF3A module on
KRX3A
ERR DS1
No main DSP SPI echo
Reload DSP1 firmware
ERR DS2
Main DSP SPI echo not inverted
Reload DSP1 firmware
ERR DS3
No AUX DSP SPI echo
Reload DSP2 firmware. Note:
CONFIG:KRX3 must be set to NOT
INST unless the KRX3A option is
installed, which includes the aux DSP
module (DSP2) and 2
nd
synthesizer.
ERR DS4
AUX DSP SPI echo not inverted
Reload DSP2 firmware. Note:
CONFIG:KRX3 must be set to NOT
INST unless the KRX3A option is
installed, which includes the aux DSP
module and 2
nd
synthesizer.
ERR DSE
Missing echo from a DSP command
Reload DSP1 firmware (and DSP2
firmware, if applicable).
ERR DSG
DSP internal gain error
Turn K3S off and back on to clear the error
condition. Please report this to Elecraft,
along with DSP internal error information.
(In the TECH MD menu entry, tap 1 and 2
to get main/aux DSP info, respectively.)
ERR DSX
Extended DSP command timeout
Reload DSP1 firmware (and DSP2
firmware, if applicable).
ERR DVR
Digital Voice Recorder not found
DVR module may be defective or
incorrectly installed, or the MCU or DSP
firmware may require updating.
ERR EE1
On-chip EEPROM read/write test failed
MCU may be defective (front panel). Try
re-loading MCU firmware first; then try
initializing parameters (pg. 72).
