[Elecraft] Config Documentation question

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

That would be practical for the P3 and K3 because they share a common 
RS-232 port, but the KPA500 port must be different (or not connected at 
the same time), the KX3 port is different, the XG3 port is different, 
and so it goes on and on.

I think having everything batched into one would make operation more 
difficult.
As a parallel, the XYL wants to have one remote control - and indeed I 
do have a remote that can learn any other remote's commands.  But when I 
program it for multiple devices, we cannot easily remember which button 
is for which function on which device - so we go back to having multiple 
remotes on the coffee table.

Sometimes dedicated applications for one device makes more sense.

73,
