Fern, I urge you to keep up-to-date with the firmware, maybe not
updating immediately new firmware comes out (as on the very day), but
certainly within a few days (weeks at most).
A lot of us will download ASAP in order to help spot problems and
advise Elecraft accordingly, only with our help can they find the more
obscure problems. That's not to say they don't test and double test
etc., but some issues are so obscure, only a certain operating
condition or way of using the K3 will find it.
If you want to use things like the second receiver or digital voice
recorder, you're going to have to upgrade anyway.
It is impossible to write code without a bug (I should know, I've been
trying to do so for the last 38 years), I defy anyone to be able to do
it.
When the code is of firmware of this sophistication, it becomes even
harder. There will inevitably be issues, the significant thing with
Elecraft's code is the great lengths and effort they go to, to find
and reduce the bugs and their response to bug reports and the speed at
which they fix problems. You wont find that in the other big
manufactures (radio or otherwise).

There is always one more bug, even after you fixed the last one...
