I guess we can agree to disagree.
It is not as if the K3 doesn't tell you it's in the TX test mode.
Pretty obvious -- especially if you set it purposely.
It is far less destructive in the TX test mode!
If you also have to turn the power manually to zero, what's the point of
having a TX test button?
I don't agree that making it sticky would cause any appreciable number
of additional support issues. There have been plenty of "support
problems" related to TX test with it not being sticky. I'm sure it's on
the list at Elecraft as an item to check if there is no power output.
Interesting that the K3 manual doesn't mention TX test mode as a reason
for No Power Out.
Also I never thought power down and power up was supposed to "fix"
conscious user settings deemed "inappropriate"-- whatever inappropriate
means.
It would be nice to know which settings are not sticky on power up/power
down.

I would not want it to survive power off and restart. It is too easy
to be in TEST mode at the end of the day, shut down and forget it.
Then on restarting the next day one spends time trying to figure out
why the rig will not transmit ... no thanks!

The potential $$ it could save are large.

Brian,
Yes, TX TEST will not survive a power cycle.
