Chris, This behavior can be caused by a lifting of the membrane. If you remove the front metal face, look closely at the whole area around the mod button. Mine had dirt get under a corner and gave me the same results your seeing. Elecraft sent me a replacement membrane, I removed the effected section, cleaned it thoroughly and installed a new piece and all is well. This was well over a year ago now and no further issues.

My K3 is only about 8 months old, and because I live in the lightning capital of the world, has had only light usage. What I have experienced is that when the band or mode buttons are pushed, sometimes it erroneously invokes other functions. For example, pressing band down, the VFO B display shows "NO ATU" and does not switch bands. It's _not_ always the same error, it seems when it malfunctions, it is random. 73, K1AY (Chris) On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 9:28 PM, ayoshida <[email protected]> wrote: > I especially notice annoying malfunction on buttons, Band/Up/Down/VOX/QSK, > Mode/Up/Down/ALT/TEST > and SUB button.
