Morse code legends for button pushes would probably be very useful to those who have vision problems (I don't).
But ergonomics counts for an awful lot, too. Especially during long sessions at the rig. Being able to access functions without consciously searching for the buttons and then having to shift focus to the display to see what state those buttons are in... this admittedly tiny effort does add up over time. So, I'd place audible/Morse feedback somehat above coolness factor, if not exactly top priority. Also, compared to the K2, the K3 buttons don't have the same satisfactory tactile snap. Even a simple short tone upon button push would add a lot to the operating experience I believe. I'm looking forward to this feature but no, it isn't a top priority. 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:55:05 -0700, Brett (KC7OTG) wrote: >Morse code legends are cool.
