[Elecraft] SV: K3: Storing PWR level in memories

[Joe Planisky]

I had the same thought when I first read the proposal, Julian.  Plus I  
can see how including a power level in the memory might cause the very  
problem Jerry is trying to prevent.  If I normally don't use an amp on  
a certain band but forget that I had the amp in line and call up the  
'full power' memory for that band, I've got a crispy input.

However, that being said, I think Jerry does bring up a legitimate  
point.  I've noticed from looking at the pictures and reading the  
manual (don't have my K3 yet), that it doesn't seem possible to see  
what the current power setting is without at least touching the CMP/ 
PWR knob.  On radios with a dedicated power control, I could get a  
rough idea of the power setting by looking at the index mark on the  
knob.
