Hi Jim,

Tnx for the quick response.
Yes, I used the K3 ON/OFF button (left the power supply on).
Agree, that is the normal way.
So I was surprised to see that only the PTT-KEY setting went back to it's previous (Default ?) state.
The reason for my question.

HOW did you Power Off? With the K3 On/Off button? That's the right way
-- the K3 saves its settings when you do that. But NOT if you kill the power supply -- when it restarts, it's with the last time you used the
K3 On/Off button to turn the rig off.
