Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New KX2 feature: Internal logging of outgoing CW/data text

​Nice! Looking forward to the feature on the KX3.

I wonder (polite way of saying I have an idea!)... would it be possible to
continuously record in a FIFO format (maybe called a scratchpad) and then
hit the log button when you have completed a Q you want to log? It might
reduce the amount of used memory from logging useless info. Just a thought.

I always love a post that starts with "New Feature..." :)

73,
Kev K4VD

Forgot to mention that. Yes, there will be at least a simple text-dump host 
command.

Wayne,

What a great idea!  Do you think this log information could also be
available to download once the KX2/3 is back home and connected to a
computer via the relevant utility?
