Exchanging Configuraqtion files.

[Gary Smith-2]

Assuming you back up your configuration file first, is there any
issue with loading a configuration file from one K3 into another? I
see my serial # is in the name of the file, what if I load one from a
different K3 that also has diversity?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

There are other identifiers of the K3 that the configuration file came
from other than in the filename.

In other words, that will not work.  The K3 does not have a 'clone'
capability.

Don,

I was afraid of that. Too bad, it would be nice to be able to
exchange settings easily.

I guess that could be done, but would have to be constrained to 2 K3's
that have identical configurations - options, filters, etc., and
consider that it would certainly be mis-used if it were available,
resulting in additional customer support effort at Elecraft.

The task is greater than just cloning memories and repeater offsets that
can be done with many VHF/UHF transceivers.

Part of the data in the configuration file is per-radio calibration
information. Be sure to recalibrate (completely) the radio that receives
this configuration, including crystal filter configurations (filter offsets,
widths, modes) etc.
