[Elecraft] KX3 - Switching power source while operating

[Jim Brown]

To clarify --K3, K3S, KX3, and KX2 shut down sort of like a computer -- 
they write their complete setup to RAM when you turn them off, and that 
setup determines how they turn on. When you kill power by removing the 
power source, that write doesn't occur, so the radio turns on (reboots) 
with the last saved settings, which may be quite different from where 
you had set them for the setup when you lost power. I've learned this 
the hard way. :)

So -- like others have advised, the best solution is to keep a charged 
battery set in the radio, so that when you lose external power, the 
radio doesn't have an un-planned event.
