[Elecraft] K3S - Method to print K3/K3S configuration files from K3 Utility

[Walter Underwood]

You should not use a  configuration file from one KX3 with a different KX3. It contains calibration data that is specific to one rig.

It might not even be possible to reuse it. I think the configuration file encodes the serial number of the KX3 it belongs to.

It sure would be nice to dump and load the non-calibration settings, but nobody has written that app yet.

I was hoping to print out that file and use it as a guide to setting up my new K3S, knowing better than to simply load (restore) the old K3 configuration file into the new K3S radio.  Fred, KE7X, points out in his fine book that, at the time of the book's first printing, no means were available in K3 Utility to print out the configuration files.  Fred was kind enough to note in the book that Ham Radio Deluxe has a way of converting the configuration file to a text file.  I used HRD to do exactly that.  It was quick and easy, but I could not find a way to save the text file or to print it out.  I also tried a print screen, which failed.

Has anyone come up with a way to copy a K3 Utility Configuration file to text that I can print out?  Ideally, I would like to see the K3 Utility program allow me to save/print ALL the radio's current menu settings for comparison to the published defaults.
