In this regard and while waiting on my new K3S to arrive, I've read the
manual several times. These discussions then raise the question, "is
there no Master Reset" that returns the radio to factory default
values? I may have overlooked this. However the product not having a
Master Reset I view is a major shortcoming of the product.
If its there, I'd specifically like to know more.

I configured my K3s to use DTR to key CW, (CONFIG:PTT-KEY to “Off-RTS”) and
configured my logging program (Dxlog.net) accordingly; the COM port I’m using
is the K3s virtual serial related to the USB connection. Everything worked fine.
Later on I unplugged the K3s to use it in another location, where I’ve just
connected power and antenna (no USB); right after powering it up it went to TX,
USB RTS was probably in an undefined state being interpreted as high so it
keyed CW.
I knew that might be the problem so I tried to access the CONFIG:PTT-KEY menu:
there was no way to get there while the K3s was stuck in TX, as usual I got to
the the “FW Revs” default config menu but I couldn’t move to the other menus.
The only possible solution has been to get hold of a PC, install USB drivers
and set RTS low.
Question: is there any alternative power-up sequence to enter a sort of safe
mode allowing me to change configuration ?
Thanks
