[Elecraft] Loading Old Configuration Into New K3S

[Gary]

I kinda like the way it is and this is my thoughts:
If I had 2 K3's (any vintage) and I was to check my setup, what if both are not identical?, maybe one has a second rcvr and may different filters?
Having 2 utilities on my PC would not bother me.
If I have separate PC's for each, then again I see no problem.
I rarely use the utility these days, when I do, I save a config copy.
Again if I had 2 K3's, I don't see an advantage in being able to copy from one trcvr to another....i can see where I could make a mistake and mess things up though.
So can somebody please explain to me what I may be missing or perhaps an example of how I could benefit from what is being discussed.
Sadly as I get older I seem to be getting slower...:-)

What would be useful would be a program or a function of the K3 utility that would pull out the nonspecific information from a configuration backup and restore only that.

In fact, if I were the author of the K3 utility, I would check serial numbers, and if they are different ask the user if he wants to restore the settings that are not rig-dependent.
