        Yes that's what it does.  I'm away from my rig at the moment but I
believe the Utility tells you where it saves the file on your computer.  It
really doesn't matter because you'll see the same files when you use
CONFIGURATION RESTORE.  The files are normally named with S/N and a date
code.  You can also overwrite the suggested file name to whatever you want
(e.g. "KRX3installed").  Earlier I checked the time to do a SAVE and it took
~53 seconds on my old 1.1G computer and the K3 running at 38,400.  I didn't
check the time for RESTORE but imagine it would be about the same.

        I would much rather Elecraft be spending their time adding
functionality like VFO IND than creating an UNDO button.  It would be
different if the RESTORE function took as long as an XP computer to restore,
but 53 seconds seems quite reasonable to me and it's very easy to use.

73,  Bill
