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

The problem I see with that is that the configuration save and 
restore takes a (relatively) long time.  In a contest situation, it 
would be nice to have that in a second or two.  A limited subset of 
config parameters would speed it up.  Also, it would be nice to have 
the ability to restore a setup after someone has "played" with the 
radio.  For example, in a multioperator contest situation, if a 
person sits down at the radio and inadvertently changes some 
parameters in the CONFIG menu, how are you to know?  It is quite easy 
to bump VFO A while searching for an item and not even know it.
