[Elecraft] Memory sticks

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

If the goal is to have a contester's dongle that you drop into a rig when
you set down and then remove it afterwards, just restoring the personal
settings (not the rig calibration settings) over the CAT protocol should
be fairly easy, given that the KIO3 protocol for reading values is
documented.

Simon HB9DRV has already said he's doing this for Ham Radio Deluxe, but
for a dongle, a PIC or Atmel ought to be able to do this easily.

But I remembered seeing ads for this $25 device in Nuts and Volts, and
always wanted a reason to buy one.  It's a 386-compatible system with
flash memory that's built into a DB9 dongle, and it gets its power from
the RS232 port.
