Downgrade back to 1.88 made it work again. So I don't think it comes
from outside the box...

No problems here.
Just an "off the wall thought", is the DC supply to your K3 OK ?
I had a similar symptoms with a loose PSU connection.

I loaded rev 1.94 yesterday evening. My main problem is the not
working
VOX in 1.88. However it was more worse than with 1.88! Once set
to VOX I
couldn't set it back to PTT. It switched the whole time to TX,
no matter
what MIC gain settings I choosed. (Oh, I didn't tried the VOX
gain, it
is still at 35, maybe this would help?!). Well, also the TRX
seemed to
had some kind of other problems. All LEDs swichted to on and off
again,
the display get's dark and some relays clicked. Then it came
back. This
happened several times.
Does anybody had similar problems? Or did I make another
mistake?

Thanks to your input on the last firmware release (1.88), we've
made a
number of important improvements.
For the first time, we're posting new firmware as "beta."
Upgrading is
optional: if you want to minimize your risk, you might want to
wait
until we've blessed it as a normal production firmware release.
(Or
until all your friends have it and you're a little jealous.)
We'd love to have as many thrill-seekers as possible take the
plunge and
load the new firmware now. We think it's greatly improved, and
it will
certainly clear up many of the issues noted over the past week.
Even
though we're headed to Dayton in a couple of days, we'll be
monitoring
closely for any additional issues.
For release notes and instructions on how to load beta
firmware, please
see:
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm
The instructions (linked from within the release notes) explain
how to
create a separate folder for the beta revision. This will allow
you to
easily revert to an older revision if you find it necessary.
Hopefully not!
For your convenience I've also provide the release notes below.

* * *
MCU 1.94 / DSP 1.73, 5-12-08
* VOX: Increased sensitivity. Typical VOX GN settings now
~30-50.
* VOICE MONITOR: Eliminated "scratchy" artifacts with
compression set
to high levels.
* FM DEVIATION ADJUSTABLE: Use CONFIG:FM DEV menu entry
(default: 5.0
kHz).
* Flash memory driver improved to prevent occasional receive
dropouts,
"ERR PL1", and
"FPF LOAD PENDING" messages.
* XMIT SWITCH IN MENU: Tapping XMIT while in menu correctly
starts/ends transmit.
* PASSBAND SHIFT BELOW "0.00" CORRECTED: The SHIFT control no
longer
allows
continued rotation below 0.00. (This was occurring only with
sidetone pitch < 500 Hz.)
* SQUELCH/RF GAIN CONTROL CHANGES: By default, the RF/SQL
concentric pots
control main and subreceiver RF gain, and squelch is controlled
by
two CONFIG menu
entries (SQ MAIN and SQ SUB). But setting SQ MAIN to "=SUB POT"
assigns
SUB RF/SQL pot to both main and sub squelch, and in this case,
the
main RF/SQL
pot controls both main and sub RF gain. Setting SQ MAIN back to
a
numeric value
restores the default assignments. Note: Squelch applies only to
FM
mode at present.
