Bob,

That must have been set on by the prior owner.
Had you done an EEINIT, it would have wiped those menu items back to 
factory defaults.

You might want to go through the menus (both user and CONFIG) to see if 
the other menu setting match your operating preferences.
That is a part of "getting to know your K3" - especially important when 
buying a used one.  You never know why the prior owner had selected 
particular menu items.
