[Elecraft] Transferring Configuration to another K3

[N5GE]

I browsed the Config files for both of my K3's and saw no noticeable difference
except the serial numbers in the file, but there is a checksum at the bottom of
the file that contains more than meets the eye.  Besides, I did not compare the
two with comparison software like UltraCompare, so I don't recommend trying it
to anyone...PERIOD!
