Wayne: As an extension to this feature, a quasi-simultaneous S-meter read of main and sub receivers would be very useful in evaluating antenna gain and diversity reception.
Ideally the main and sub signal strength readings would be captured at the same time, but if some short delay is necessary, the concept is still useful. (Sending sequential read commands to the main and sub adds an unknown delay between the two measurements.) The main thing here is close to simultaneous capture; data transmission of the two values can be subject to whatever delay is inherent in the K3's firmware.
