K3 machinegunning

I haven't been on the forum for a long time so I have cheek in coming to ask for some help.

As the title says, my K3 has on a few occasions been "machine gunning" this usually happens if the battery is getting low and it is a bit cold. Today it happened when it was set to TAV and twice in quick succession, when I got back into the warmth it was fine!! The firmware is still on Version 1!!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Howard

Have you considered updating the firmware to see if it helps?

I seem to remember something about this ages back and the fact it was addressed in a firmware update.

I may have just made that up but I would certainly update the firmware anyway.

Thanks both for replying, that is a very sensible idea. I'll have to remember how to do it. I'll also put in a full battery. The trouble is that the problem is intermittent.

I'll post an update when it's done and I think the problem is sorted.

Cheers,

Yes the issue was specifically addressed in an early firmware update
