[Elecraft] K3 after turning on doesn't receive or transmit

[Fred]

Hi all,

I'm a very new user to the K3.  I just recently update the Synthesizer
board and added the KXV3B and the K144XV options to my K3.  I made all the
updates in Config to make this work.  Everything works fine.

The problem I am having is when the radio sits over night and and turn it
on, it doesn't receive or transmit at all.  The only way I can get it to
work is to start the K3 Utility and download and reinstall all firmware.
Once that is done, everything is working fine until I turn it off at night
and turn it on the next day.

I noticed there is a battery on the main board.  Does it sound like it is
dead and needs to be replaced?

I have not had a chance to check this.

Thanks for your help!  Please let me know if you have any questions.
