[Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't saven I

[Bob McGraw]

I use FLDIGI and in doing so I configure the radio PTT and KEY in the 
FLDIGI application.  When I load FLDIGI and go to CW mode, the radio 
switches to CW mode and the PTT - KEY switches to RTS - DTR.   When I 
close FLDIGI the radio switches back to OFF - OFF. I've checked another 
couple of applications that I rarely use and they control the radio 
correctly.  So I'd say the configuration is handled by and saved the 
application and NOT the radio.

One MUST always shut the K3S down by the power switch on the front 
panel, and never by the power supply.
