A bit of advice.......using the Elecraft Utility, once you get the radio
working and configured as you desire, perform a backup of the radio
configuration and save this to a folder and file on your computer.
I usually do this before I start messing with values and settings.
That way, when I get things totally out of whack { and I do} , I can get
back to basically where I started. It eliminates a lot of "what now?"

Bob,
That must have been set on by the prior owner.
Had you done an EEINIT, it would have wiped those menu items back to
factory defaults.
You might want to go through the menus (both user and CONFIG) to see if
the other menu setting match your operating preferences.
That is a part of "getting to know your K3" - especially important when
buying a used one. You never know why the prior owner had selected
particular menu items.

Another thing to try:
Press and hold the Menu button for a second to enter the Config menu.
Rotate the VFO B knob until you see the PWR SET entry. Tap '1' and see if
it unlocks your power control.
This is a feature that was introduced to keep other ops from messing with
transmit settings. It locks power, compression, and mic gain.
