The P3 can restore a config saved from another P3. Some of our other devices (K3, KX3...) won't do cross-serial-number config restore if there is per-unit calibration data that would require any significant work to re-create.
The saved-from serial # is in the configuration file, but it currently is not used to inhibit cross-P3 restore. If the P3 Utility cannot get through the initial connection sequence from a P3 (read its firmware version, serial #, etc), the Config Restore button won't be enabled. The P3 Utility can't restore a configuration if it can't get reasonable P3-like responses from P3 installed firmware. I'm trying to avoid restoring a P3 configuration into a K3 or KPA500 with the P3 Utility. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of TL_Netvision Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2018 23:11 To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] P3 config file - was utilities on Linux Hello, Speaking of configuration files, I wander if I's feasible to restore my P3 from someone else's file (In hope it's not serial-number dependent etc.). I have a P3 (MCU 1.29, no SVGA option) for which all P3 utilities I tried (current & earlier) fail uploading firmware, and don't enable Save \ Restore options. Would the Restore option be enabled again had the P3 utility recognized a valid configuration file in the library? I will be glad to test with someone's file .
