[Elecraft] P3 New Features

[david Moes]

Thumb drives are definitely not created equal.   other than download 
speeds there are other timing issues.  the combination of the OS on a 
desktop or laptop computer and the firmware on the motherboard seems to 
deal with poor quality thumb drives.  but just about any dedicated 
hardware that just has basic USB support will not like substandard thumb 
drives.    At work we use thumb drives to load and upgrade firmware on 
much of our equipment and find that many types fail.    Oddly its not 
always the more expensive brand names that work.   we have a bunch of 
no-name drives from an unknown source that just fine.    The Kingston 
Data Traveler is the one that is recommended by engineering  and work well.
