The answer to my problem is to leave the POWER button like it is. I like the way it works. I am not worried about the transient, I like that if the rig is battery powered and the battery goes low the rig turns off and stays off until you turn it back on. I also like the feature that if a connection is too resistive when you transmit the rig will turn off and stay off until you turn it back on. The main "feature" of the K3 that I don't like is that the "HI-FI" enthusiasts have prevailed and it is difficult to copy a CW signal through the background noise without turning off the AGC and using the RF Gain manually. It seems that anything that pleases the HI-FI SWL crowd harms the ability of the K3 to serve the CW and SSB weak signal capabilities. It seems that everything I find to like about the K3 over my TS-850 there is a group lobbying to change.
