[Elecraft] K3: FW 2.02 TUNE problem

[ab2tc]

I spoke too early, the problem is back intermittently. The problem is *not*
high SWR indication, nor actual high SWR, so there is definitely a problem
here. It looks like if I try again and again I will eventually get it to
stay on (3 or 4 attempts typical). BTW when the power drops, the SWR
bargraph drops to 0 bars.

I am again suggesting this has something to do with the recent changes to
CW/SSB keying modes. I have not made any changes to CONFIG in response to
any of these changes. Is there anything in CONFIG that I ought to check?
