Re: [Elecraft] k3; Firmware and Config Utility?
Why can't you two just setup the radio how you like it and then download the settings out of the rig to your computer. Then when each of you sits down you just reconfig the radio with your settings. That way you get your own memories, filter settings, EQ settings, mic gains, the later to be S-Meter operation preference and the whole works...

No, definitely not. Memorised settings are far more preferable for me. Less time on the pc more time on the radio.

If one was able to create a simple differential config file you could probably change operators configurations within a few seconds. My whole point surely? Maybe a little longer if you were including voice keyer memories in that list as well (which would be handy for contest type situations such as field day). But anyway the point is at some point in time it becomes a space issue. I really do not understand why you are getting concerned about this Brett. The actual storage is done on the Pc, not the K3. granted there will be a few more lines of code but I cannot see it as a problem. As I see it, that issue is down to Elecraft. They tell us that there is plenty of room so that is fine by me. Next thing people will be asking for biometric scanners so that each user can log into the radio to load their settings.

[Elecraft] k3; Firmware and Config Utility?
I would also like to have EQ settings set per mode and/or per mic socket. Switching between audio data modes and a microphone with high frequency boost set on the TX equaliser and audio data modes is not possible without spending a couple of minutes re-setting the equaliser each time the microphone is used! Another area where settings need to be stored is for the K3 to store whether the ATU is in use on a per antenna socket basis, it's nice to be able to label the antenna type but being able to set the ATU and have it remember would be more practical use. There are a few of these irritations that need attention, another being the previously mentioned difficulty of switching through the VFO memories... You can't use the K3 as a channelised radio at the moment without a lot of button pushing. Also, it won't scan on 50 MHz with a message of SCAN NOT ALLOWED ON THIS BAND... What's that all about? One day, maybe it will all be fixed and we'll have to find something else to grumble about G 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 === I wonder if 1.1.3.6 allows you to save EQ settings?

RE: [Elecraft] k3; Firmware and Config Utility?
My plan for the K3 Utility is to have a way to save short(er) sets of configuration options, such as the tx eq and mic select / bias / front/back, etc. You'll pick from a tree view of what should be saved. The more you save, the longer it takes to save and restore. You can name the saved config file anything you want. You then restore from that file to get those settings back. My challenge right now is to organize the very large number of things that can be saved into a meaningful hierarchy so that things that you want to save together appear near one another. I can't have, for example, AntiVox at the top of a long list and Vox gain at the bottom of the list; these should be organized together in some sort of microphone category.

[Elecraft] k3; Firmware and Config Utility?
Dear K3ers, Perhaps I'm missing something, but in Wayne's firmware update note yesterday he said: We also suggest installing the latest version of our firmware downloader (K3 Utility revision 1.1.3.6) before you do the upgrade. The latest utility version I see on the K3 Software Page is rev 1.1.2.28 from 2/28. When I run that version it says newer version available, but offers no clue as to how or where to find it. Any thoughts? Second question, while you're here. The Elecraft K2 page says CT logging software works with the K2 (and apparently with the K3). CT doesn't list any Elecraft radios as far as I can see. Is there another radio selection that works well with the K2/3? During the DX contest last week I couldn't make it play with the radio in any way I found helpful. Thanks much! Regards, Joel Joel R.
