I also would like Ultimatic mode implemented.

Wayne (and Gary)

I hope you and Gary will reconsider adding Ultimatic/Single Lever Paddle
support to the K3 internal keyer.  I think that more than Don, Dave and
myself would welcome that addition to the K3.

The elegance of the K3, a rig that rivals and even surpasses many of the
very high end radios, is diminished by the need to use an external keyer to
use a mode that many find invaluable. Removing the need to add another piece
of gear to the table top is not a minor inconvenience.  The small size of
the K3 seems to be an attempt to make it convenient for field/portable use
and to then require another piece of gear to make it work seems to diminish
its attempt to reach that goal.
