If it is possible and practical from a programming aspect, the following would 
be a nice feature to have in the K3.

To have each menu function screen numbered and a sheet for reference with the 
menu settings and there numbers listed.  It would make finding what you are 
looking for quicker and easier when in the config. mode.

Thank you,

  Subject: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - I want Ducking!


  Hey troops,

  I had an idea last night while in CW QSO with my K3.  I've noticed that I 
always turn the AF gain down when I send CW.  I have the side tone volume set 
to just the right level for the Spot function to work, but when I send CW I 
want to greatly reduce the distraction from the receiver.  I still want to hear 
it, but not be distracted by it.

  That got me thinking about ducking.  Boy, would it be cool if the K3 would 
duck the receiver under the CW side tone.  I'd want it to be engaged only when 
sending (not for spot) and I'd like the AF gain reduction to be adjustable 
through a menu setting.

  I guess another way to implement this might be to have the side tone affect 
the AGC so when I send, my RX responds as if it were a real signal and the AGC 
kicks in to quiet the receiver.  In this case, I'd want to set the amount of 
gain reduction and whether to use Fast or Slow recovery.
