K3S config file

Can one use a config file from a K3 as a starting point in configuring a
K3s? Years of tinkering with a K3 resulted in a configuration I
wouldn't want to loose.

Re: K3S config file

Brian,A configuration file can only be sent to the same radio. Part of the file is the radio serial number. The only way I know to do what you want is to manually set it up, or possibly use a third party software program. Win4K3 software may be your solution. You should be able to save the K3 configuration (with only a few items that can't be saved) then transfer the file to the K3S

Yes. However, on restore of the configuration file to the K3S, K3 Utility will warn you that you're using a config file from a rig with a different serial number. You'll also probably need to tweak a few settings after the restore, since the K3S will have some new hardware.

Re: K3S config file

I'm confused. I was with Harlan, that a config file from another serial number wouldn't load. Has something changed with the K3S? How about K3 to K3?

I found this on Nabble. Wayne?

No. Some of what is saved is rig-specific VCO calibration data

Correction--we do this during troubleshooting at the factory on occasion, but you should not do it at home. Sorry about that.
