To clarify --K3, K3S, KX3, and KX2 shut down sort of like a computer -- they write their complete setup to RAM when you turn them off, and that setup determines how they turn on. When you kill power by removing the power source, that write doesn't occur, so the radio turns on (reboots) with the last saved settings, which may be quite different from where you had set them for the setup when you lost power. I've learned this the hard way. :)

So -- like others have advised, the best solution is to keep a charged battery set in the radio, so that when you lose external power, the radio doesn't have an un-planned event.

power a KX3 will more or less not notice, during full use (transmit at 15W), 
and during receive?
