Also, the freq. readout on the mini does not correspond to the K3 and does not change with movement of the mini vfo dial.  The mini cannot turn off the K3.  The mini also comes up with "TERM" showing, which I don't remember from the last time I did this. (I can clear that by holding down the "CONFIG" button for 3 seconds.).
