[Elecraft] [Elecfaft K3] Power Cycle

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

Dave,

I was really surprised to see another poster say that you should kill the power
on the K3 after installing new firmware.  I have two K3's here, have never done
that and have never, ever had any trouble whatsoever with firmware
installations.

In my experience, going on 3 years, it's not necessary to restart the K3 after
firmware upgrades.

73,

I understand the logic behind this action and do perform a power reset after doing a firmware upgrade or reload.  My question is this. Every time a firmware upgrade is installed there are several apparent power resets that occur, even after the firmware install is finished. Am I correct in assuming these apparent power resets are not complete resets?
