Frank,
That is a "safety feature" because if the computer is turned on after
the K3 is powered up, it can key the K3 when the computer tests/sets its
ports.
Once things have settled down at the computer, PTT-KEY should resort to
whatever it was set before the power off.
You can find the full explaination in the full firmware release notes.
It was some time ago,, so I suggest searching the release notes for
PTT-KEY to find it.

Just clarify this strange behavior.
I use the Config Menu to set the PTT-Key to RTS-DTR. As long as I don't
turn off the rig, it works correctly. Once I turn off via the front panel
power switch, it loses this setting and goes back to OFF-OFF.
If while it is set to RTS-DTR I do a SAVE CONFIGURATION in the utility, I
can restore to the RTS-DTR values until I turn my power off.
Then it goes back to OFF-OFF.
Other config settings such a 1 or 2 speakers still can be changed and the
change is stored even after a power off/on.
Where are the settings stored in the K3? EPROM? Could one memory cell in
an EPROM go bad?
Is there a way to "factory reset" or something to clear this problem?
Thanks,
Frank

Any thoughts on what might cause this? And how to fix it?
Are you turning off the radio with the front panel button, or are you
turning off the power supply? Elecraft radios save their setting when
they are turned off by that switch. If not with that switch, they will
boot up with the last saved settings.
