[Elecraft] PX3 & thumb drive...

[Bill Johnson]

VIC and all,

See page 29 of the manual...

"A USB Mass Storage Device (MSD), such as flash or thumb drive, can be used to save and restore PX3 configuration data, save and restore macros and save the screen display. The MSD must be formatted for FAT32 files. A faster (e.g. Class 10) MSD will capture a screen display in 10 seconds while others may require several times longer".  

Note the Class 10 reference.  There are many that are not class 10.  You can format to FAT32 in your desktop or laptop.

73,
Bill
