Dave,
If you have *not* been "pulling the plug" to shut down the K3, then it
may be that it needs a trip back to Watsonville to rezap the bootloader.
But OTOH if you have been turning the power supply off first and not
using the K3 power button first, try 'doing it properly' over the
weekend and contact [email protected] Monday.
Removing the power from the K3 will not normally do any damage (but it
can). In most cases, the thing that happens is that it does not restore
the band/frequency/mode, etc. that you were last using - or if you made
menu setting changes, those will not be remembered.
Although it *can* scramble the bootloader, it seldom does - except if
you are unlucky.
Yes, it is similar to a PC in that regard.

I tend to never pull power from anything running anyway, (too many years
doing PC, and dedicated hardware support in broadcast), but I was
totally unaware the K3 needed a shutdown sequence...
