I have an early K3 that had the ESD problem. I removed the front panel and board attached to the front panel. I removed the VFO A encoder and burnished the paint off around the backside of the front panel encoder hole. I have not had an ESD lockup since.
I also had an Omni VII that had the same problem. Ten-Tec service said I could send it back to them, and they would see what they could do. I sold the Omni VII. Just be glad you have a K3. It CAN be fixed. Roy Morris W4WFB
