I touched the VFO knob and got a little static discharge. Here's what I 
noticed.

1. Display backlight turned off but I could still see the display.
2. Frequency jumped about 3 khz up.
3. Power output jumped to full.
4. Turning the VFO knob caused the display backlight to return to normal.

I had been driving the amp. at about 600 watts and suddenly I was running 
1200 due to the K3's power output increasing to 110 watts.
I powered off/on the K3 and everything seems ok. I'll try to remember to 
discharge on something else this winter!
