[Elecraft] K3 power loss: Last settings forgotten

[Erik N Basilier]

I just shut down the station by "pulling the big switch" and then turned it 
back on soon after. Of course I had to push the power button on the K3 to 
get it going again. Then I noticed what I never noticed before: The K3, 
while still tuned to the same 40m cw frequency, came up in LSB mode, with 
coarse frequency display. I pushed FINE and MODE DOWN to get back to cw and 
two decimals. Then I shut down the same way again, with the same result. 
Next time I powered down by pushing the K3 power button instead of the Big 
Switch. This time when I powered the K3 on again it remembered all settings. 
Looks to me like the K3 doesn't store all settings unless its power switch 
is pushed to shut down. Is this how it is supposed to work? I am running 
2.76.
