[Elecraft] K3/10 For Sale or Trade

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

What Ian said.  The button has no useful function currently with only
one RX.  In fact, maybe having a different keycap for single and
dual-RX K3's would be an option?  It's been a while since I had mine
apart.

   Sorry, that isn't what I was suggesting.

   As far as I can tell, the SUB button is completely dead until the KRX3 
   is installed. My suggestion was to put that wasted button to use in 
   radios that don't have the KRX3, by making *both* SUB and REV do exactly 
   the same.

   The difference between the two buttons is their location. REV is good 
   for two-handed tuning, but as Paul identified, a convenient one-handed 
   'hold to reverse' function is vital for radios that don't have a second 
   receiver. The SUB button would add that convenience.

   When the KRX3 is installed, the SUB button has to go back to its labeled 
   function - and that's fine too, because the 'hold to reverse' function 
   is hardly needed at all (the FT-1000 doesn't even have it).

   Swapping SUB and REV is a totally different issue... and I can't see 
   much reason for wanting that.
