[Elecraft] K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software

[juergen]

Hi

We talking firmware only?

Better S-meter resolution maybe a Dbm or Db microvolt scale for field strength measurements

S-meter peak memories - calculates difference for antenna comparisons

Averaging  S-meter readings with sampling time setting

Transmit Double sideband suppressed carrier

ISB

Tuning pulser with variable duty cycle(I know you can do it on CW)

VU meter for TX audio settings

White noise generator

Sweeping audio oscillator

Predistortion for better IMD on TX

Class A bias or variable bias

EQ per mode

Fast selection of EQ on TX,  maybe 2 selections DX and normal

High boost for the TX audio like  the Kenwoods have

Split band speech processing

Syllabic SSB squelch

Variable TX bandwidth like the Icom 756 PRO

Wide and narrow notch filter

APF filter

Disable speech processor on play back from DVR

10 minute QSO timer 

Bug keying

"MY BANDS" enables you set your own bands ie MARS or MARINE or AERONAUTICAL

Remote control like the TS480

Power output control in  Db steps  maybe 1, 2 or 3db

QRP power set  activation for MAX power of 5 watts

Beacon MODE like the California DX associations beacon format

Lock the internal RTC to the TXCO

SELCALL on HF this would be a first(dont know if its legal)

Excuse me if many of these things are not technically possible. I am just dreaming!
