[Elecraft] K3 Curious behavio

[Don Wilhelm]

I would suggest a more flexible solution.  Implement a connector for a 
flash drive or another readily available format of a removable memory 
card.  If the card is inserted, use the data that is stored on the card, 
but if it is not present, use that which is stored in the K3.  That 
would certainly make one's operating preferences portable and usable on 
any K3 - but does not diminish the operation of the radio if the memory 
card is not available.
