Copying Configurations

K5HM
Is it possible to copy the config from one K3 to another?  The utility will
not allow it if the S/N are different.  Is there a way to bypass that? Will
it cause any problems with the target radio?

It would cause problems because some calibration parameters individual
to each radio would be copied. So don't try to trick it into letting you
do it!

No, it is not possible to copy configurations from one K3 to another. In my view, bypassing the serial number check would not be straightforward (I would guess that Elecraft use checksums to protect the integrity of the files). If you somehow manage to achieve this, then yes, it will cause problems with the target radio, and the radio would need to be recalibrated.

Re: Copying Configurations

Matt Zilmer-2
The memory editor (for KX3/K3) is the best compromise.  Ops may use it
to transfer memories from one unit to another.  This program does not
change configuration, just memories.

As Matt said, transferring the entire config from one unit to another
would change the target's parametrics and might make it unusable,
requiring recalibration.  The config section of the K3 and KX3
utilities registers the serial number and a CRC (checksum), and the
config image may only be restored to the original radio.

Think it might be worth-while to have an 'exportable config' option in the
utility that just copies over Tx/Rx eq, Norm I/II configs, NB/NR settings,
macros, DVR data, saved frequences, etc?  That way you can sit down at
someones K3, upload your user-config, and have 'your' K3 with things set
how you like it.

Will be good to have a set of parameters of personal configurations that
don´t affect calibrations or something else and can be copied from one to
another K3

I think that could be done with some parameters, right?

Re: Copying Configurations

Hi
Win4K3Suite starting in version 1.62 has the ability to export and load most menu settings to a file as well as the current operating parameters.  It does not transfer any serial number related settings.
You can see an example at
 http://va2fsq.com/?page_id=612
about 1/2 way down the page.
The export allows you to export the current settings of the menu commands you see as well as the current state of the K3 or KX3.
Memory frequency files are separate as are macros.
Of coarse with enough demand this can be enhanced .
