People want to reduce the amount of button pushing to a minimum.
Remember when your rig was new and how long it took to get the settings
the way you wanted?
Buy a used K3 or a new K3s and it takes some time to set it up like you
like it.
I absolutely hate swapping CD's and DVD's loading software on a new PC.
Norton Ghost was the best thing since sliced bread (RIP). Add some
software to the computer...make a new image of the hard drive. Hard
drive needs replaced for whatever reason, and it's the component most
likely to fail, load the image, operating system and all, on the new
drive in about 20 minutes. If I tried that on a new PC with different
hardware, processor, video cards, sound cards, Ethernet cards it would
fail miserably and I'd find myself in driver hell.
Since there is a difference between configuration and factory alignment
data on the K3(s) maybe a utility within a utility just for alignment
data. This would only work if both new and old rigs are physically
configured identically. How do you load config data which contains
information about the second receiver when there is no second receiver?

I kinda like the way it is and this is my thoughts:
If I had 2 K3's (any vintage) and I was to check my setup, what if both are not
identical?, maybe one has a second rcvr and may different filters?
Having 2 utilities on my PC would not bother me.
If I have separate PC's for each, then again I see no problem.
I rarely use the utility these days, when I do, I save a config copy.
Again if I had 2 K3's, I don't see an advantage in being able to copy from one
trcvr to another....i can see where I could make a mistake and mess things up
though.
So can somebody please explain to me what I may be missing or perhaps an
example of how I could benefit from what is being discussed.
Sadly as I get older I seem to be getting slower...:-)
