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

Two suggestions which can probably be added in firmware for K3 and K3s: 1)  Allow different audio levels for speaker and phones, such as an attenuation applicable to either. 2)  Allow (but not require) the monitor level to be controlled along with the receiver levels. If either is already avai
