[Elecraft] K3(S) or KX3. Add function to Utility to save non-radio specific settings

[Don Wilhelm]

Kevin,

There are casual users and and there are the "geeks".  The "geeks" would 
have no problem with this proposal, but the casual user may run into 
difficulty.

If the configuration data could be separated into general and K3 
specific files, then your suggestion would be valid.

I agree that posting the configuration of each K3 (K3S) would cause a 
huge increase in Customer Support calls and emails.

The firmware load does not cost $500.  It is more likely to amount to 
the minimum charge of $99 plus shipping.

73,
Don W3FPR
