[Elecraft] Recalling CONFIG Settings

[Dick Dievendorff]

The K3 Utility saves CONFIG settings plus calibration data plus the current
control settings; everything that is erased by EE INIT.  See the
"configuration" tab of the K3 Utility and the associated discussion in K3
Utility Help.

 

Configuration data is saved in a file in your PC file system.

 

The file's name and location are under your control.  The K3 Utility
provides a "default" location in the "Application Data" for configuration
files.  It's adjacent to the folder that stores firmware files.  The default
location for user-specific application data varies by operating system.

 

On Windows XP, the location is often c:\Documents and
Settings\userName\Application Data\Elecraft\K3 Configuration.

 

When you save a configuration, you are shown a "save file" dialog that
allows you to change the filename, and you can navigate to any folder you
like to receive the configuration.  You probably can use just the default
folder location. If you change the location during save configuratoin, the
K3 Utility will remember the new location and give you that choice first on
subsequent save and restore operations.

 

Config save creates a filename based on the serial number of the radio and
the current date and time, but you can name the file anything you like that
makes more sense to you.

I would like to back up my CONFIG settings without having to go through each
one and writing it down.  Does the SAVE K3 CONFIGURATION AS button in the
ELECRAFT K3 UTILITY do this?  If so, where is it saved?  I thought I would
look before I leap.  Thanks.   Roy Morris  W4WFB
