[Elecraft] Re: K3 AGC Adjustment Parameters

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

The problem with scrolling through the menus is that you have to know
to look at that parameter.  If something gets changed, and you were
unaware of it (it happens), being able to see at a glance which
parameters were not at the defaults would be most useful.

In particular, I'm thinking of the K2 parameter that changed the
source of the keying sidetone.  I've seen it changed by accident three
times (not by me).   After the first time, I made a note in my
mini-manual.  Note that I've been on several DXpeditions with LOTS of
K2's, and some ops who weren't familiar with them.

   The firmware loader (the program that you will use to download updates 
   from Elecraft) is supposed to get a feature that will enable you to save 
   and restore the configuration. Someone could write a program that would 
   look at the backup.

   The K3 also has a nice feature in the menus: if you push the DISP button 
   while looking at a menu entry, you get a little help message scrolling 
   through the VFO B display which tells you what the menu entry does and 
   what the default is.
