PLEASE if you are going to keep this silly thing with a toneburst at the start of every transmission at least make it so that i can be switched off. In Sweden this is not needed for repeater work, after repeater been activated with 1750Hz it is carrier operated. /SM2EKM --- ww2r2 wrote: >

The list of what is and is not saved is on the Configuration tab page help within K3 Utility Help. If it is in the "not saved" list, you'll need to recalibrate/reconfigure that. "Reset" (EE INIT) initializes just a couple of pages of EEPROM, and that is saved and restored by the K3 Utility.
