[Elecraft] Suggestion

[Jeff Wandling W7BRS]

Good point.  The Utility will let you snap a baseline of your rig 
settings, today.

What may be easier to use also is, upon finalizing your settings on the 
K3, you snap the baseline of the config via the Utility.

Time passes and you screw up your K3 config.. you get it out of wack and 
want to go back (or more important know exactly what you changed between 
then and now)..  I'd rather see the Utility give you a display or file of 
what the deltas are between the last known baseline and current.

No sense in sifting through two lists of all-config terms and look for the 
diffs.  Let the Utility do the 'diff -bu baseline current | less'

The Was/Is deltas on current-screwed-up K3 and last baseline of K3 may 
reveal just a very small handful of attributes (config settings) that are 
deviate.

This capability should be in the Utility, and it (as well as every other 
function in the Utility) should be a plugin so other ham radio 
controlling software can make use if it in their interfaces...  Just a pet 
peave of mine. No API to the Utility... snort huff puff grumble.
