[Elecraft] POWER LOCKED

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

A bit of advice.......using the Elecraft Utility, once you get the radio 
working and configured as you desire, perform a backup of the radio 
configuration and save this to a folder and file on your computer.

I usually do this before I start messing with values and settings.   
That way, when I get things totally out of whack { and I do} , I can get 
back to basically where I started.    It eliminates a lot of "what now?"
