[Elecraft] K3 does not fully powering down

[Dave Fugleberg]

Do you have anything connected to the 15 pin accessory jack on the K3?
I had the same symptom once last year, and tracked it down to a wiring
fault in a homebrew accessory cable.
If you do have something connected to that jack, try unplugging it
temporarily to see if the power down issue goes away.
