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

[Dick Dievendorff]

Give me a list of the menu items you'd like saved and restored for this
situation.  The existing save/restore config is relatively large, and uses a
byte at a time protocol. I agree that it's slow, and speeding it up is "on
the list". It requires MCU changes.

I'll have to come up with some other sort of name other than "configuration"
to distinguish the full save from this relatively few parameters sort of
save/restore.  I fear that having both will be confusing.  The intent of the
existing save/restore is to save you the work of reentering all the filter
settings in the event of EEINIT.

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.
