[Elecraft] K3 Utility: Problems saving K3 configuration

[Oliver Dröse]

Just to let you guys know what the outcome was.

EEINIT did not change that behaviour, still cannot do backups of the current 
K3 config, error remains the same. Opposedly restoring an old saved config 
works just fine so the problem definitely is only one-way. Discussed that 
with Elecraft support, too, but they neither had any other idea than a cell 
in the EEPROM might be defective and I should exchange the front panel unit. 
As the radio is out of warranty and otherwise works just perfectly well I 
will just skip spending 400 $ for a new front panel unit for the moment and 
use it as it is.

Keeping fingers crossed it will last a few more years.

Thanks Don! All that tried already, should have mentioned it, too, sorry.
Dick, K6KR, already contected me and suggest the only way to be really sure
there's no hardware problem (i.e. some defective cells in the EEPROM chip)
is to do an EEINIT. Will do that next week when back from "radio holiday"
and not needing the radio daily as it is right now.
