[Elecraft] [K3] K3 memory question

[EricJ]

Use the little retainers available from Powerwerx and, I think, West 
Mountain. I always use them in out of the way places like behind the rig 
where it is easy to fumble around and knock things loose. You just snap 
them in place, they hold very securely, then when you want to 
disconnect, just pull it back out again. Convenient and secure.

Can't help with the K3 question, though.
