[Elecraft] Inventorying a K3/P3

[John Simmons]

Dave,

This topic was recently covered either here or another reflector I 
subscribe to.

There isn't a very good way to properly find all the options installed 
other than pulling the cover to see. There are two programs that may 
help: The Elecraft K3 Utility program and K3_EZ:
