That's an interesting justification and I've learned something from reading
it. But I think the question has to be asked as to why what is a pretty
specialized requirement needs to be built into the K3 rather than performed
by an external box or computer software. It seems to me a bit like asking if
the K3 could have a built-in WSPR beacon mode. :)
