Roger,
If your APP connectors have little retention force, they are not
assembled correctly.
Take a look at the diagrams and pictures of the APP connectors on page
37 of the XV series transverter assembly manual for a good illustration
of how the APP connectors should look. Download that manual from
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/Assembly%20Manual%20XV50,144,%20222%20Rev%20D.pdf
The blades of the terminals should be securely locked over the spring
"tongue". If that is accomplished, the retention of APP connectors is
quite good.

This has happened to me on couple of occasions while puttering around
in back of my radio bench. The Anderson
Power-Poles are convenient but have virtually no retention. If this
happens, you must use the "Parameter Initialization"
routine on page 63 of the manual. NOTE: This will NOT work if you have
the RS-232 cable connected!!!
Then reload all your configuration settings using the K3 Utility
program. You DID save the settings, didn't you?

My apologies if this has been asked before.
When reading various posts concerning the operation of the K3
transceiver, I get the impression that if the radio is powered off by
simply removing the 12 volt source, as opposed to using the K3 front
panel switch, there is the possibility of scrambling the memory that
manages the configuration of the set. Is this true?
If not, then no problem.
But, if this is true, are there any plans to implement some sort of
memory protection scheme, such as including a memory "keep alive"
system powered from an internal or external source? Your comments
please.
