[Elecraft] Tracking Upgrades with the K3 Utility?

This is probably a feature request but there may also be a way to accomplish
this request with the K3 Utility (or other diagnostic software) and I'm just
unaware of it. I am not a disciplined inventory keeper of the changes I've
made to my K3 rigs so I'm not absolutely sure where I stand on upgrades,
mods, etc. I believe Elecraft keeps that information if you have ever sent
your rig in for repair or calibration but I'm not sure how to access that
unless I just call/email them. The K3 Utility shows filters, settings,
accessories and such so I'm thinking board tracking (such as "Which DSP
board is in this particular rig?") is a logical extension of that concept.
Question: Can the K3 Utility track which boards and upgrades are actually
in your K3?
This probably isn't a practical request but I would never put a
brilliant/elegant solution out of Wayne's possibilities. Yes, I could open
up my rigs and search for the board designators but I prefer the lazy/faster
way if possible. ;-)
Alternatively, maybe Elecraft has this information by serial number in a
database and there could be a page on the Elecraft site where I could see
my serial numbered results. Admittedly, it wouldn't show anything that
might have changed since the last visit to the factory but it would be a
good start. I started down this line of thought when I saw Don's, W3FPR,
post on the DSP board and the low pass board. I don't remember ever seeing
that a low pass board was available but it sounds like a great idea...which
I might already own. ;-)
