[Elecraft] K3 Attenuator Turning Itself On

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Try it on a dummy load.  If it changes then it is a radio problem. If it 
doesn't then it's external.

If you have used the radio with CAT control, sometimes the software 
application will not close and exit correctly and will leave "crud" or 
fragmented data in the radio and there's no telling what results may 
appear.
