Don't know your K3 S/N, but I'm having some problems with S/N 642 doing 
"similar" things.  Pressing switches sometimes does nothing [common with 
TX TEST], and occasionally, does something I really wasn't expecting at 
all, unrelated to what was supposed to happen.

I've gotten the impression it may be related to the plating on the edge 
connectors between the RF and FP boards.  Given my low S/N, I am pretty 
sure I don't have the gold plated ones and may need to get the mod kit. 
  I'll probably send it into the Elecraft shop if that's really a likely 
cause.

I did anchor my K3 to the shelf with small squares of auto moulding tape 
under the feet so I can push the switches more positively without moving 
the radio.  That has helped some.
