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

[Grant Youngman]

I have to admit that reading these posts has been interesting, if not down right exhausting.  

Some good suggestions, some pretty narrowly focused and esoteric ones, some related more to the (at best)  barely coherent jumble of PC software sitting behind the radio than the radio itself, and some downright head-scratchers that kind of make you wonder ... (??)

An idle perspective K3 purchaser would have to believe that the receiver can't hear anything because it's noisy, that there's something seriously wrong with AGC, that the S-meter doesn't work right, that it's basically impossible to use effectively, that the radio doesn't meet all high precision test equipment needs in the radio room, and that the radio clearly has a wide range of miscellaneous "faults" that just scream to be fixed NOW or else various users will trash it in favor of something else, which will be clearly faultless  :-)
