Hi Don,

A quick question for you:

Lets say I am on 5.5, and I do a save via the K3 Utility software.  I
then update to 5.54.  OK I am on 5.54, and my last save of the radio was
while under 5.5.

Now lets say I hate 5.54, and I want to revert.  Can I just tell the K3
Utility to revert back to the previous save, or do I have to re-point
the updating software at a version of 5.5, then load the firmware?

I guess this boils down to-- is the K3 radio snapshot software, a full
reversion, or is it just configuration settings reversion?

Hope that makes sense...
