Every once in a while firmware updates do result in changed CONFIG 
values.  I suspect this results from user customized settings being 
changed back to default values as a result of new coding affecting 
specific functions.

After every update I run through the CONFIG bank to see which values, if 
any, I need to change back to my customized settings.  Rarely do they 
change, and checking them usually takes all of two minutes.

Saving the settings in the Utility would do it even quicker, but I enjoy 
knob twiddling more than key punching.  I also trust my ability to knob 
twist more than I do my ability to handle the Utility.

In any event, not a few postings could be avoided by checking and 
restoring your CONFIG values first before turning to the reflector.

Furthermore, printing out a running copy of the /K3 Firmware Release 
Notes/ and keeping them in a 3-hole binder is a quick and easy way to 
find out how to /restore /CONFIG values you have previously changed.  
These /Notes/ are always more current than the /K3 Owner's Manual/.  
Plus . . . (perhaps the most important of all) . . . referring to the 
/Notes/ on a regular basis updates the brain on all the enhancements 
which have accrued (and will continue to accrue) to the K3.
