[Elecraft] Memory sticks (was: K3 Curious behavior)

[Greg - AB7R]

Exactly, but with the laptop or other computer connected you don't need the thumb drive.  
Just setup the configs and save them using the K3FW Utility.  If a user has a K3 at home also 
they should be able to copy the configuration from the K3FW directory to the thumb drive and 
then restore it as necessary at the contest/DX site.
