So, the K3 as it now stands does not have a USB port to which a memory
stick could be connected for updating - or am I being ignorant? Should I
buy a K3 for use at another location in another country where we do not
have a computer, being able to use a memory stick ( patience, that might
be the wrong term) to update would be a 'must'.
Updating today requires a computer with Windows to run the K3 Utility.
In a very short while there will be a Mac (OS X) version of the utility,
and then a Linux version.
Adding a slot of some kind for a memory device would require hardware
and probably sheet metal changes. I don't think this, while a very
interesting idea, is going to happen for a while. They have plenty to do
to implement announced features, such as the second receiver, AM/FM
modes, etc.
Maybe someone could build a device that would accept a memory card and
plug into the RS232 port? It would have to know the protocol for loading
the MCU and DSP. It could also be used to save configurations. It could
be done with a PIC or Basic Stamp processor.
