[Elecraft] K3 Operating Tip: Menu help text and factory default settings

[wayne burdick]

Sometime when you're cruising through the K3's menus, wondering what 
some of the entries are for, try tapping DISP. This will show help 
information for the current menu entry.

For example, if you're in CONFIG:SMTR PK, tapping DISP will show:

    (OFF) PK-READING S-MTR

If a value in parentheses is shown at the start of the text, it's the 
factory default; this is useful if you want to set some things back to 
their original values. (Some entries, like CONFIG:FW REVS, don't have a 
default.) You can tap any switch to cut off the scrolling help text 
before it finishes.

So, you think the CONFIG menu doesn't have enough entries? That means 
you probably have CONFIG:TECH MD (tech mode) set to OFF. Set it to ON 
and stand back  ;)
