Benny, perhaps I was misunderstood. There is PC that is "personal computer" but the K3 also has a PC command to query or set the power output level.
What I was proposing is having a personal computer send the string "PC005;" to set the K3 power to 5 watts, and "PC100;" to set the power to 100 watts. It takes a very short time to do this. Perhaps you can store these strings in K3 Utility Command Tester "Memories" and press the appropriate button. Again, I realize that not all users want a solution that requires a personal computer attached at all times, but this is an alternative that saves wear and tear on the power level shaft encoder, and it is very quick.

Thanks, Dick I tested that. -Go to Elecraft Utility program. -Go to Configuration -Restore saved config including power level. It takes 40 seconds to restore, Then K3 RESTARTS. No, this is not what I meant. Rolling with that shaft encoder is much more handier. But not handy that, either. Imagine yourself working barefoot 100W and need some help with linear to get that station. Adjustments are too long. I need to switch between two power levels, not roll. But this is just a whisper of wish. Benny OH9NB _______________________________________ Dick Dievendorff kirjoitti: If you have a computer connected, you can also set power with the PC command. I realize not everyone has or wants a computer connected at all times, but it is another way. I think it is a rotary shaft encoder, not a potentiometer.
