features.

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.
