K3 Config and Main Menu Dump?

Is there a way to read back the K3 Config and Main Menu settings into a spreadsheet or CSV file? I have two club K3 stations that occasionally experience some changes to the menus. It would be nice to be able to quickly verify what the changes were, and if necessary restore the menus.
Thanks & 73,
Ed

Re: K3 Config and Main Menu Dump?

The easiest way to do this is simply to save the preferred/standard configuration using K3 utility. And after other fingers have been at the radio, restore that saved configuration. There’s no reason to have to look through individual menu settings.

Hi Grant, thanks for the suggestion. I recently re-calibrated the ref frequency and TX power on both stations. I was not sure if reverting to a prior saved configuration would undo the calibrations.73,EdN2BHD

Ed:

I asked this same question a few months ago, but never got an affirmative reply.

My interest is in recording the settings for my K3, so I can use them to guide my K4 configuration (if and when it eventually appears!).

VA2FSQ’s Win4K3Suite can do that and much more.

Tom,

There is/was a program called K3 EZ that let you see and adjust the EQ.
A screen shot of each tab could be helpful for what you are doing. I do
not have the software anymore, and don't know if it is still available.
Maybe someone here has a copy. It was free.

Resistance is futile.
(don't know about reactance, though)

Addition:

I meant to say the software would let you see menu settings and also let
you adjust the EQ.

That's trivially easy from the front panel if you RTFM
