Hi Harold,
I already have a bunch of PicKit 3 programmers, but they have one fatal=20
flaw.  In "To-Go" (stand alone) mode, you can't exclude the EEPROM from=20
the programming. :-(

These field upgrades need to be done without over writing the config=20
data (different in each unit) held in the EEPROM area.

In PC connected mode, you can set the "Preserve EEPROM" for the PicKit=20
3, but that feature is not available in "To-Go" mode.  Very annoying.

Some of the other programmers do not suffer from this issue.  Hopefully=20
the programmer on its way from Kanda will arrive in time.
