[Elecraft] PTT KEY CONFIG setting volatile?

  It may be something unique to the K3S.  My older K3 didn't do it, but 
the new K3S (#10641) always reverts to PTT KEY OFF-OFF on a power cycle. 
  must be a glitch in the FW.  It IS completely repeatable as the OP 
stated.  Definitely call Elecraft Support on it.
