Give me a list of the menu items you'd like saved and restored for this situation. The existing save/restore config is relatively large, and uses a byte at a time protocol. I agree that it's slow, and speeding it up is "on the list". It requires MCU changes.
I'll have to come up with some other sort of name other than "configuration" to distinguish the full save from this relatively few parameters sort of save/restore. I fear that having both will be confusing. The intent of the existing save/restore is to save you the work of reentering all the filter settings in the event of EEINIT. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed K1EP Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 3:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Elecraft reflector; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; N5GE' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Memory sticks (was: K3 Curious behavior) 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.
