Newbie questions

Urb LeJeune
I'm Urb, W1UL. Between 1949 and 2012 I was W2DEC. One of my good friends
tells people I've been a ham so long that my first call had a Roman Numeral :-)

I'm sure these two questions have been asked many times and I apologize in
advance.

Is there a simple way to get back to the default configuration on a
K3, I have my
screwed up beyond recognition

Number two, is their a downloadable program - not necessarily free - that will
save the K3 configuration and reloading the saved configuration?

Thanks for your help.

Urb W1UL

It is easy:
1.You can reset everything by the following:

      Power off
      Hold in shift knob while pressing power on switch unit it fully powers
up

      You will have to start over again just like you had just finished
building it - so don't so this just for grins

      If you have an older configuration file saved you can reload it and be
right back where you were when you       saved the file. The firmware
is not affected either way - kinda like a restore point in Win XP.

2.    The K3 utility program available "FREE" on their webste will do all
that.
      I would suggest that once you do a "reset" as above save it with the
utility program so you can always     undo what you done did

Also, if your K3 was factory built and is not one of the earlier units shipped,
we usually have the original factory config file recorded here. Contact
[hidden email] and they can help you out.
