Re: [Elecraft] K3: AFX Firmware request
Yet it makes so much sense with the UI. DATA MD has no functionality when in CW and when holding NB or NR or the Notch filter or the like it allows you to configure the settable features of that feature. Granted its a slight UI breach but the product is still labeled as such on the button. I see this as a lesser evil to some of the press 1 while in this menu things which would have been more intuitive and fitting of the UI had they had their own menu item. But thats all just my opinion. ;) ~Brett PS: When I stated that I wouldn't put it past you I meant that as a compliment. Hopefully it was taken that way... At times text can very poorly portray a message.

Brett, I'm cautiously flexible (and hopefully, consistent) with the controls. But I would never engage in a breech of UI etiquette as flagrant as making the "DATA MD" switch act as a shortcut to the "AFX" menu entry. One of our field testers proposed that over a year ago, and he couldn't talk me into it, either :) You *can* use a programmable switch function (PFx/Mx) for this, though. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3: AFX Firmware request
Many of the buttons do different stuff based on what mode you're in. I'd not put something like this past him in the least.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: AFX Firmware request
I see that as a great idea that fits relatively well with the theme of the UI!

[Elecraft] K3: AFX Firmware request
I don't think this has been mentioned before, I did a quick search of the list. Here is my firmware request :) In order to adjust the AFX properties, you have to go into the menu. It isn't that easy in the heat of the battle. The AFX button is also the DATA MODE button if it is pressed and held. However, in SSB and CW modes, you aren't in a data mode so a N/A is displayed. Why not make this a short cut to the AFX settings menu? If you are in a non-data mode, then pressing and holding AFX will allow you to change the AFX delay or BIN settings. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
