[Elecraft] K3 Features - What Else?

[ken]

It seems to me some are sitting around trying to figure out some little whistle they would like to add to the K3.  Its even going to become an alarm clock, a broadcast station, and a coffee maker.

I am glad the folks at Elecraft have a meeting of the minds before precious resources are spent on gagetry.  

To me, resources - particularly intellectual time - should be spent on features that mean the K3 will dig out weaker signals, have a better noise blanker, work additional digital modes, be a better contest rig, interface with popular contest or station control software, have a tuning display that is useful rather than pretty, be better behaved as a driver for an amplifier, better DSP algorithms, etc.

I think time spend implementing some of the things I have seen mentioned would be a real waste, and just add to the configuration issues. IMHO this is a list of parameters  that is already becoming so large that users are never getting around to understanding them all.
