There is a parameter initialization (EEINIT) procedure in the K3 owners manual. 
You will want to save the configuration first, because it resets all 
calibration and configuration, and you will need to be able to repeat all that 
or restore the configuration. 

I presume you have a K3 Utility and access to the owners manual and a working 
PC connection to the radio.  

Reloading firmware might or might not help, and is less disruptive.
