[Elecraft] K3 KAT3 forgets settings

[Don Wilhelm]

LS,

Just as a guess at the problem - How are you powering down the K3.  If 
you are tuning the power supply off before the K3, then 'strange 
happenings' may result.  To assure a smooth shutdown with everything 
remembered, turn the K3 off using the front panel power button or the 
PS0; command and allow it to cycle down before removing the power.
