Please tell me what I have to do to repair the radio which is not
working since this error message. Prior to it happening, the radio
has been perfect the last 3 or so years.
Part 2 of this question: if it needs professional repair, could you
recommend a reliable repairer. I'm in Los Angeles, but willing to
ship the radio anywhere it'll get good service.
Many thanks for your info.

You may be able to fix it yourself, error 3
indicate power loss to the memory circuit. Remove the batteries and
check the contacts for the AA,s. Replace with fresh ones after
cleaning contacts.
This may be all it needs, if not carefully remove the back and check
where the AA's press to rhw circuit board ,clean the circuit board
solder pad and smooth out wiith a screwdriver blade. I had the same
problem with mine and jost soldered a wire to each end of the AA
holder then to the circuit board leaving enough wire
to be able to remove the cover.
I'm sure KIWA (www.kiwa.com could make the repars needed if that what
you wand
