Dave, W7AQK is absolutely right. Many of my early problems with
the K3 came from pushing a button without looking at the radio.
It also helps to learn what each of the items displayed on the
panel means, even the ones you don't think you need to know
about. You may have accidentally changed one an shot yourself in
the foot.
My last serious case of transmit on the DX frequency came
because my P3/SVGA display for the 2nd VFO looked red, even
though I wasn't in split. The P3 colors were much clearer, but I
didn't look at the P3. Another ham called me on the telephone to
inform me of the error of my ways. (Thanks!) Now I check the
delta-F light and the SVGA.

However, if you reach for a knob or a button on any of these
rigs, you better be paying attention! I think most operator
errors are due to just that, and not to design issues. If
something on your K3 doesn’t sound or act right, take a good,
hard look at your display and panel indicators. The answer is
probably right there in front of you! How many times have we
seen a response like ‘Are you on antenna 1 or antenna 2?”
