Good idea. Even better would be a portable storage device like CF card, memory
stick or USB flash drive. Then you could take your configurations with you to a
multi-multi contest site, FD , DXpedition, etc. It would also be nifty to have
backup firmware on there, and would provide another way to update the firmware
without a PC at the station site.
Ultimately, an ethernet port would be slick. I plan to use my K3 for internet remote
operation, and currently do that with an RS232 to ethernet "serial server", but
having it built in would be nice. That might facilitate firmware updating directly from
the rig if it had internet access.
Could the KIO3 be reworked to add a couple ports like these?

I understand that there's a software utility that allows you to save/load
configurations to/from a computer. But it would be handy if it were possible
to save and restore a small number (somewhere from 1 to 4) of configurations
in the radio itself. You could accommodate different operator preferences at
multi op stations where not everyone is real familiar with the rig. Also, it
would be especially good for Field Day when you may be away from your usual
support system of computers, cables, etc.
Having the ability to quickly and easily get a complicated system back to a
known state is a Very Good Thing.
