[Elecraft] K3 shutdown

[Dick Dievendorff]

I would look first for a low voltage under load situation.  Maybe a power
connector has worked loose.

The VFO frequency is normally saved during the controlled shutdown process
initiated by pressing the K3 front panel power button. Pulling the plug
doesn't give the firmware a chance to save the VFO frequency in non-volatile
storage.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 shutdown

My K3 sn1693 has just started exhibiting a troubling problem.  Operation in
CW when I put key down, the rig shuts off completely.  When turning back on,
it forgets frequency that was set just prior to shut down.  I thought this
might be rf in shack, so tried with dummy load and same problem.

Any suggestions or has anyone else experienced this behavior?
