Skip,
I suggest you remove the Front Panel assembly and check to see if the
connector pins on the long connector are tin or gold. If they are tin,
then they should be replaced (only the male pins, the mating female is
already gold). Elecraft will supply a "kit", I believe at no cost.
Often just removing and replacing the connectors will solve 'strange
happenings' because the process wipes away oxidation.
If the pins are gold and the behavior continues, contact Elecraft
support for further action.

Related question: My K3 [S/N 642] which I built from the kit has
developed an "intermittent front panel problem," where tapping a switch
doesn't always yield the action it should. For example, tapping MODE UP
might yield the same result as tapping AGC. There is no guarantee that
the next MODE UP will result in AGC however, and in fact, it may
actually result in MODE UP or something else. I have found that if I
tap a switch strongly, requiring me to hold the K3 itself, it will
usually result in the proper action.
