Wow, thanks for the info!
I must have missed that in the manual... I use the power switch, but I
had no idea there was a power down sequence for the radio.
Is it an actual power down sequence, like in triggers shutdown code to
run, or just some timing that has to happen in the right order?
73s and thanks,

Yes! Like most equipment these days, the K3 needs to do an orderly shutdown under control
of its processor to turn off safely and reliably. Like your P.C. you can pull power
unexpectedly and it will often recover okay when power is reapplied, but you can also get
corrupted data that forces a firmware reload - perhaps even using the forced MCU load
procedure in the Owner's manual - as well as discovering that it turns on in an
unexpected state or that it has "forgotten" certain parameters you set when it
was last used.

Respectfully, is that really true? The K3 needs to be shutdown via the Power
switch due to some sort of shutdown procedure, (or internal timings issue),
within the radio?
