k3util save config -- what does it save, exactly

[Jeffrey Otterson]

Can anyone enlighten me on what, exactly, the K3 Utility saves when it
saves the radio configuration and what it restores when it restores the
radio configuration?

I thought it saved **everything**, the entire configuration, but some
recent experiences have led me to suspect otherwise.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Jeff n1kdo

Jeff,

Dick Deivendorff (the author of K3 Utility) answered for the KX3 in Dec
2013 on this list.  The K3 Utility will be similar if not the same.

I quote:

Macros (command memories, CW memories, frequency memories) are not preserved
in the saved configuration file.

Only the data that is perturbed by a "parameter initialization" is preserved
by save/restore.

The configuration save file includes calibration data, which is specific to
a serial number.

Endquote.

73,
