[Elecraft] K3 -- turning it off

[Matt Zilmer]

Sounds like the big FET that switches power might have failed closed.

Best thing - call Support in the morning and report the symptoms.  If
this is repeatable, they'll issue an RSA (RMA?) and the factory will
fix it for you (free, if under warranty).
