I believe the digital gods like to toy with us. My K-3 has largely behaved itself but several weeks ago it suddenly stopped producing RF when tune was pressed. Turning it on and off, etc., did not entice it to work. It however was working in all other respects, including producing RF when keyed with the paddle. I finally gave up and called Elecraft. After a bit of inquiry it was determined that somehow a "bit flipped in the code." After a reset and a manual reentry of the various menu settings everything worked fine and has continued to do so. As far as I know, nothing unusual had occurred before that situation developed. In any event, I am glad your K-3 is working again.

This morning, I turned on the K3, and got an error message--no ATU! Sure enough, the ATU would not trigger. K3 menu is set for ATU, and cycling the power on and off a few times didn't seem to help. However, perserverance wins, and finally a cycle of power on and off restored the ATU! Go figure! ATU now seems to be functioning O.K. These microprocessors are indeed confounding devices. I don't know if I have something to worry about or not, but it concerns me since I've never received an error message like that--at least not since I got the K3 properly up and running. I hope this radio isn't going to get cranky!
