Great Ideas! May I suggest, in the name of ‘feature creep’, a suggestion? So, have the K3 or K3s dial up your cell phone where you can program specialty ring tones for all sorts of “mission critical” events. This will surely get our attention while in the heat of battle for another 59 contact

Ray and all, The K3/K3S/KX3/KX2 has a DATA submode AFSK A which is LSB (unless you change it) and also has special filters for RTTY - you have to set the mark frequency in the menu to match your software (or the other way around). Using the DATA submodes rather than SSB automatically sets the

I suggest the audible SWR indicator be in effect only while the TUNE button is being pressed. But I'm not sure if such an indicator is even feasible as I understand there is some "mission critical" code in the K3 that senses catastrophic antenna failure. An audible SWR indicator might perhaps s

I suppose that would be useful, as long as it didn’t beep at you incessantly every time an internal ATU cycle was run. But If I had to reach around to use an external matchbox and didn’t have a visual indication of SWR while trying to do that, I think I’d rearrange my station :-) Trying to tun

I don't expect to see it for the K3 but perhaps someday a K4 will have a CW pitch adjustment that: a) does not blank the received signals when you engage it as the current sidetone pitch adjustment does; b) keeps the signal centered in the passband while pitch is adjusted, unlike when you ad
