I imagine most people have a computer in their shack anyway, and the
K3 is probably already connected to it for firmware updates, if not
for logging, so where's the difficulty?

The real problem with the proposal as suggested is that it would
require a whole duplicate area of memory to store just one saved
firmware configuration, whereas a computer could store an unlimited
number with no overhead. People keep adding ideas to the K3 wish list
and Elecraft keep adding them to the list, but I guess that the point
has to be reached some time when the K3 MCU runs out of memory to add
new features, just as the original one in the K2 did. This doesn't
seem to me like a good use of a presumably limited resource.
