[Elecraft] [K3] K3 memory question

[bill conkling]

Currently I believe the answers are maybe and no!

Removing power will at best return the radio to whatever condition it was in when last turned off by the PWR button.  Whether anything gets scrambled or not is probably a crap-shoot, but I think odds are pretty low.  But, it is possible and I wouldn't do it on purpose.
