Since I am neolithic, I have no experience with fancy displays..but it seems to 
me that with all the features the K3 has, at some point Elecraft, or others, 
might offer external whathamacallits and whoziees that would allow someone to 
have a trick pony at home.

Now what I would like to have is a "swing" emulator in the keyer logic (g). 
There are some options that might be considered at

How about a direct interface to the buggy whip holder?  That way, Amish hams 
could go mobile....and actually copy cw via whip waves?
