There have been problems with the pushbutton switches in the four
controls to the left of the main VFO knob (e.g. speed/mic). Push
the buttons and twiddle the shafts of these controls for two
minutes each, and the problem will probably not recur. When
these controls fail, they cause multiple addressing problems.
I had a similar problem a couple years ago, and ordered four
replacement encoder/switches, which are surprisingly inexpensive.
When I went to actually do the job, it looked nasty, and I never
replaced them. The problem has never recurred.

Subject: [Elecraft] Strange bandswitch behavior - incorrect
commandinterpretation
Tonight I turned on my 8-month old K3, and went to switch from
80m to 40m.
Pressing the right side of the BAND rocker switch, the radio
began
incorrectly interpreting different commands, and the behavior was
repeatable even after power cycle. First couple of presses
changed modes.
Next press engaged the NR icon. Third press resulted in the
message "NO
ATU" in the VFO-B window.
BAND-Down seems to be OK.
The only thing "different" is I just added a P3 to my setup, and
while
doing so, I upgraded to the latest released firmware using the K3
utility
program.
After some more pressing of the band up function, it seems to
have come
back to normal. Come to think of it, this is not the first time
I've run
into a confused command after a button press, but I've ignored
them until
now.
Anyone else seen similar behavior?
Chris
