Glad to say the K3 does pretty much all I want, lets not try to 
fix/modify something that ain't broke!

---------------
Future ham gear, given our advancing ages, should include:
-larger and single function buttons for Parkinsons folks, and
everyone else, too.

-high freq audio boost and eq. and "balance" control to feed
more to one ear than the other.
-footswitch option is easy to add (feet work, hands do not).
-LARGE dial and large clear-contrast print on sw labels.
-Big RTTY/data readout on front pannel for those that can not
hear much anymore or for those whose speech is now impaired.
-Lots of automatic functions for often-repeated items.

Notice now few of these factors are on the K3, sad to say.

73,

Charles Harpole
