[Elecraft] K3S glitching on startup

[Frank O'Donnell]

This evening I used my new K3S for a normal session of FT8 (K3S 
connected to computer via a single USB cable for both CAT control and 
audio transfer), then powered it down.

When I powered it up later, the following occurred:

-- It did not display the normal startup message

-- It rapidly switched from DATA to CW mode, remaining there

-- Started beeping a number of times per second, continuing indefinitely

-- Showed "VOX -- OFF" on the display.

Wondering if this could have been caused by unintended pressure on the 
CW paddle, I unplugged it but this made no difference. The K3S continues 
to go into this state each time I power it down and restart it. I'm 
unable to change mode, band, etc.

Any suggestions for resolving this? Thanks in advance.
