[Elecraft] K3 - 30m problem solved

My K3 quit transmitting on 30m a week ago.  All other bands were OK. 
After using up a lot of Gary's time, Wayne called me and his first 
question was, "Which antenna is selected?"

I don't know how it happened, but 30m had gotten set to ANT2.  One tap 
on ANT and I'm back alive on 10.1 MHz.  Just like my K2, the K3 antenna 
selection is saved on a per band/per memory basis, something I should 
have known since I've had my K2/KAT100 for several years now.

The moral for me is, "Before leaping to email support at elecraft.com, 
study **ALL** the icons and legends on the LCD."  Quite a few are fairly 
small.

Chagrined, I remain
