[Elecraft] RS232 port selection

[Alan. G4GNX]

Ha. I've not managed it yet Don, but I read of others occasionally in panic.

I realise that there's a firmware force procedure, but as you say, I don't 
want the panic or a heart attack. :-)

One thing I always do is to backup all settings after a permanent change.

Alan,

While it is "not nice" to 'brick' the K3, there is quick and easy
recovery.  Just follow the instructions in the manual or the K3 Utility
Help file to 'Force a Firmware Download' - it takes only a minute or so.
The worst part is the initial gut-feeling alarm signals that go off - it
is not disaster, and easily fixed.

It has only happened to me once, and the cause was a computer glitch
during a firmware download.
