[Elecraft] Rediculous, unreasonable and selfish firmware feature request..

While playing with the K2 during SS I took advantage of the Fast Play mode
and found it fantastic for repeats etc.  I kept thinking...wow..if this had
a button to press that would send a QSO # in CW and increment the number for
the next keypress I could do a quick <hit but 1> <hit but 2> and have the
full SS exchange sent.

While I'm asking for the sky it would be great to have 2 buttons...one that
sends the QSO # and then increments it and another that sends the previous
QSO # for repeats.   You would send the exchange using the "QSO # and
increment it" button and if the other station asks for a repeat you hit the
"previous QSO #" button.

Like I say in the subject...this is a rediculous thing to ask Wayne and Eric
to come up with since it is so limited an appeal but, man oh man, would a
stand-alone K2 become nearly robotic in contests!

I realize that most contesters key the rig using their computer logging
software but I'm thinking about when I have the K2 up at the cabin with no
computer around and just a paper and pencil for logging.

Just dreaming in NY,
