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

[Bill Stravinsky]

 Gee, who actually owns a K4 to push the buttons?   I didn't know anybody out there had one yet.  Hoping I get mine before the Fallcontest season.

 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,
