Sorry if you have this more than once, but I cannot get the KX Yahoo group
to post my messages.
Good question Wayne,
For me it's the KX2 battery, the space for internal battery is limited in
size and original pack is difficult to source in VK.
A larger bottom plate that would accommodate a larger range of batteries
would be nice. Maybe even a AA cell holder. This would allow some
flexibility when travel both by air and when using the rig on a multi-day
walking trip.
As for software changes,
Using the OFS mode for Course tuning and the Main VFO knob for Fine tuning
is great but this is at the expense of the DISPlay function.
It would be great to leave the VFO B display set as DISPlay but still have
the option to Course tune via the VFO B Knob, rather than changing the
tuning rate of the Main VFO knob between course and fine when DISPlay is on.
This would be similar to how the TEXT DECODE mode works, and would allow the
operator to leave the DISPlay on Voltage, Clock or whatever they wanted and
still have course tuning.
Another advantage of this feature is it allows the Main VFO Knob to be
locked thus reducing the Bump and QSY risk.
Implementation could be via a new option in the Menu setup, VFO B display
[VFO B or DISP] when in OFS Mode.
Or maybe When OFS On, Display [VFO B, Voltage, Time, Ah etc..]

Hi all,
The weather's been great in the Bay Area lately. That always makes us want
to escape the lab for microDXpeditions to local parks, trails, beaches, and
summits. This is what the KX-line is all about.
Here's your chance to get us back into the lab :) What future accessories,
antennas, etc. would you like to see for the KX-line?
73,
Wayne
