[Elecraft] New wierd K3s behavior

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Although I've not experienced this, with or without having run WSJT-X, I 
have experienced some software applications which do not correctly 
terminate and thus my leave an erroneous  command in the radio.    This 
can happen if the software application is running or open and the radio 
is powered down before the software application is closed.  This command 
may still be resident even after a power cycle of the radio.   I have 
always found it best to close any and all of the software application(s) 
before powering down the radio.  Having done this, most will make a 
clean exit.
