[Elecraft] Do not use K4 "Restore Defaults" button

[rich at wc3t.us]

As you get a round tuit, will these nuances make it into the other models in
the KX-line?   I always hear of the strident warnings of factory restores
hammering the hard-won calibration data and have counted my lucky stars that
I have not had to head down that road with my KX3.

In the UPDATE function of the K4, there's a DETAILS button which leads to a
tentative backup/restore feature. This will be replaced by a new
backup/restore function (CONFIG) that's easier to use and accessible at the
top level.

One of the buttons on the current Backup/Restore screen is "Restore
Defaults," which does a full reset to factory defaults. We intended to
remove this because it resets TX GAIN calibration and other data. This, too,
will be handled in a more nuanced fashion under the CONFIG function.

Please don't use "Restore Defaults". 

While the backup/restore routines work, we'd suggest not using these either.
CONFIG will do a much better job of managing your backup needs.

Thanks,

Wayne
