The config file includes compensation values for the devices in a specific radio. Loading it into a different radio would mean a serious realignment for that radio.
This is a huge hole in the Elecraft utilities. It should be possible to save, load, and share the menu settings. I’ve lost count of the times someone has asked how to reset the rig to defaults and I’ve had to say “Sorry, can’t do it.” Even better, think about a checklist for which values you would save or load. Someone could share a file with TX EQ and compression settings, for example. Then separately, share AGC settings. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Mar 31, 2019, at 3:36 PM, Fred Jensen <k6...@foothill.net> wrote: > > Sadly, I think the configuration files are keyed to the radio's serial > number.
