K3 configuration file(s)

Niel Skousen-2
Sometime back (before I got sn 1396) there was a discussion of sharing  
configuration files.  Thus a non-contester could snag and load, and  
compare, various configuration and K3 setup styles.

Has this happened and I missed it ?    Did it run into technical  
difficulties ?

Thanks

Re: K3 configuration file(s)

Niel,

sharing K3-Configuration is not that simple ... or maybe it is ?
The Information inside the Config-File is not documented to the public yet.
So it could be possible that you would write configuration dependent
information into your K3
which are not working with your configuration.

It would be necessary to decide which group of information is configuration
or machine dependent.

Maybe the K3-Utility will be extended to handle this ?

Niel .....
The configuration files have some "radio specific" things, but most of it
should be able to be shared, but it seems not many want to share how
they have their K3 set up.
I have a spreadsheet - actually several - at http://k8dd.com/k3/
The http://k8dd.com/k3/K3_Settings<date>.xls files are what I have had
in my K3.   Plus there is a lot of other information on memories, programmable
function keys, etc.  I have been very happy with the settings in the latest
spreadsheet in some of the major contests both from the US and from DX.

Several people have said they never looked at my settings, but they liked the
format of the spreadsheet and deleted my settings and put theirs in!
So .... you can see how mine is set up - or was set up in the past.  Or you
can download the latest date spreadsheet, wipe out my settings and you
have a good form to fill out with your settings.  I think it is good up to 3.14 MCU.

Feel free to use the spreadsheet, with or without my settings.  There is also
a calibration procedure writeup - In the order that they are run with a new
K3.  I took this from the Operating Manual PDF and set it up the way it seemed the
tests were run on a new radio, mostly because I've replaced the Front Panel PCB so
many times that now I also have a "Front Panel replacement" writeup that I
have not put on the web page yet!

Feel free to use any of the files on http://k8dd.com/k3/      If you like them
give me credit.  If you don't like them - don't tell anyone where they came
from, but tell me what you didn't like!
