[Elecraft] K3 and Sequencer

Hi Ronnie, 
 
I agree with your idea of a sequencer inside the K3.
 
Both the K2 and the K3 have delayed keying, but it is not long enough 
for multiple external devices to settle down.
 
It may happen in time as Eric and Wayne catch up on the wish list 
that is getting longer every day, but my solution is this...

I bought two of these, and they are bloody great...very small, 4 
Output, variable timing...and they would easily fit inside a K3, so 
you could " Roll your Own " Sequencer 
and make it inside the K3 with connectors added to the rear of the 
Radio...and as there are TWO Blanking Panels on the Radio now ( 
Depending on how you 
configure it ) it should be easy...that's what I'm going to do, and 
have the boards ready and waiting.
