If the FN-X buttons are intended to be user programmable, it would be 
beneficial to be able to set custom labels for them that are displayed 
on the bottom edge of the display, instead of trying to remember what 
FN1 = ??.

By looking at that grey silkscreened line across the bottom of the clear 
display cover, with arrows above each FN-X button pointing upwards 
toward the display, perhaps this is already a planned feature.

If it can be done by computer control, there is.

Basically, it should not be too difficult to produce a microcontroller 
based box that plugs into the serial interface and extends the the 
existing control panel interface.  The same goes for quick flipping 
between two power levels.

Well, this may not satisfy band-stacking register zealots, but the four
per-band memories solve much of the problem for me. I set up M1-3 for CW,
SSB and RTTY and use M4 as a temporary scratchpad. It doesn't work the same
way some radios work that have a dedicated button for each band on their
larger panels. But it works for many of us.

Even double bandstacking would be a major step forward.

[Elecraft] Wish list for my K3

2009-08-15 Thread Arthur Nienhouse 
The thing I miss the most is the triple band stacking register if
there was a way to plug in some kind of (key pad) that could
have multi control functions one could be the band stacking
register.
This would be all good an optional accessory that could  add
more buttons to the radio for control, with out using a computer.

I will also second the request for the APF type peaking filter
like  my ft1000d has, I sill use it all the time after 16 years of
owning the radio, which gets used in the lazy boy station  every
day. When Yaesu failed to carry over  this feature in later radios
I was disappointed.
