This is sort of incorrect.

The polarization does not matter to radiation pattern.

The physical orientation of the loop matters.   If the plane of the
loop is parallel to the ground, it is omnidirectional.

If the loop is vertically oriented, it can be horizontally or
vertically polarized, but in both cases, there is a sharp null in axis
of the loop.
(Technically, if the loop is parallel to the ground, the null points
at the ground and the sky.)
The vertical  loop can be horizontally polarized by feeding it in the
middle of the top or bottom edges.
It can be vertically polarized by feeding it in the middle of the
vertical edges.

Changing the polarization may change elevation angle, and might affect
ground wave propagated signals, but once it bounces, Faraday rotation
makes polarization irrelevant.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KX3 Memory Editing Utility (revisited yet again)

[Steven Dick]

Would it be possible for Elecraft to document what commands were used to
extract and rewrite the memory items?  Given that, it would be too
difficult to write (portable) python code to do the memory extraction.
Then we'd all have a linux client.

 I have followed previous discussions on the memory editor issues (no
 support for Mac, etc.) but I missed the answer to the big, big question.

 The big question is:  why is it that the existing Elecraft supported K3
 and KX3 utilities do not include a memory editing page built in and
 supported as a mainline feature.

 Seems to be a no-brainer to me.  I would expect Eric or Wayne to say “Yah,
 we need that in our utility programs, let’s do it”.
