[Elecraft] K3 won't shut off, turns on by itself

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Just a hunch, but if you have a KCR2, make sure it is powered if it is
connected to the AUX port.  A couple of weeks ago, I had unplugged the
power cable form the KCR2, and when the rig was powered on, it hung and
did all sorts of odd things, including not powering off in response to
the K3 front panel power switch.  After I pulled the AUX cable from the
KCR2, things started working again.

Nowadays, I ensure the KCR2 is either not on the AUX bus, or is powered
up when the K3 is powered up.

Hope that helps,

73,
