Could this be the reason. Does the K3S need to be switched off of safe mode for the PTT-PTT settings to not change? 
  


PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED: Some PC applications can control PTT and 

KEY at the K3S via the RTS/DTR signals of the USB port. However, use of these signals may also allow 

the PC’s USB port initialization to unexpectedly activate transmit at the K3S. This can happen if the 

computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. There is now a "Safe" mode 

(the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command via USB, such as a 

read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to 

select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use PTTKEY 

via USB but never send commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted 

transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S.

Jeff, 

I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but here are a few thoughts: 
After making the menu change, are you exiting from the menu? Tap the MENU 
button. 
Are you 'pulling the plug" when you say you turn the radio off and back on? 
Just like your computer, you must use the POWER button if the state is to be 
saved. 

Do you have anything plugged into the USB or RS-232 port that might be 
causing a command to reset the menu entry?  Pull out the USB cable and/or 
the RS-232 cable and try again.
