Hi Gang...one of my wants for my K2 (and there's not much) is a 
different tuning rate.  I use the 10/50/1000 Hz setting which is 1 KHz, 
5 KHz and 100 KHz per knob revolution.  I'm usually in the 5 KHz mode 
and find that's too slow and don't like to be switching rates too 
often.  I'd like to cover 100 KHz in four turns so I'd like to try a 
1KHz, 25KHz and 100 KHz option. Maybe Wayne would consider it if more 
memory ever comes available or perhaps the 3C or 2 option could be 
changed?

A second want from me is a good working vox.   I work a lot of cw but I 
use the K2 on phone as well and find the vox works great just as long 
as I'm using 4:1 compression.  Otherwise...doesn't work so well.  I'd 
like some menu settings with adjustable sensitivity so the vox works 
great at 1:1 and 2:1 settings.  I don't know that anti-vox is 
necessary...just some control on sensitivity.   My guess is the 4:1 
settings were probably a compromise for contest use....which is a good 
idea.

Regards

Frank, W4FMS
