The problem I see with that is that the configuration save and restore takes a (relatively) long time. In a contest situation, it would be nice to have that in a second or two. A limited subset of config parameters would speed it up. Also, it would be nice to have the ability to restore a setup after someone has "played" with the radio. For example, in a multioperator contest situation, if a person sits down at the radio and inadvertently changes some parameters in the CONFIG menu, how are you to know? It is quite easy to bump VFO A while searching for an item and not even know it.

Exactly, but with the laptop or other computer connected you don't need the thumb drive.

Just setup the configs and save them using the K3FW Utility. If a user has a K3 at home also

they should be able to copy the configuration from the K3FW directory to the thumb drive and

then restore it as necessary at the contest/DX site.
