The problem with scrolling through the menus is that you have to know to look at that parameter. If something gets changed, and you were unaware of it (it happens), being able to see at a glance which parameters were not at the defaults would be most useful.
In particular, I'm thinking of the K2 parameter that changed the source of the keying sidetone. I've seen it changed by accident three times (not by me). After the first time, I made a note in my mini-manual. Note that I've been on several DXpeditions with LOTS of K2's, and some ops who weren't familiar with them. 73, doug Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 07:55:23 -0700 From: Vic K2VCO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 wrote: > Can the values of all these parameters be uploaded and downloaded from > the control port?

The firmware loader (the program that you will use to download updates from Elecraft) is supposed to get a feature that will enable you to save and restore the configuration. Someone could write a program that would look at the backup. The K3 also has a nice feature in the menus: if you push the DISP button while looking at a menu entry, you get a little help message scrolling through the VFO B display which tells you what the menu entry does and what the default is. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
