[Elecraft] Chasing the Update Mods Train?

[Paul Christensen]

Another thought -- perhaps documented bulletin numbers could be uploaded 
through the K3's utility program and saved in the K3's EEPROM rather than 
rely on "sticky label technology."  Then, it's just a matter of polling the 
rig to see what's been changed.  Of course, the accuracy of what's really 
been changed is only as good as the accuracy of what's being input by the 
owner or Elecraft Service.
