[Elecraft] Firmware request

[Geoffrey Downs]

It's a good point you make David. We have both mentioned that it would be 
good for the firmware to turn MON on (if it isn't on already) during the 
transmission of a recorded message, whether from M1-8 or AF Play. Also, 
Andy, as far as stopping tx under computer control is concerned, at present 
it stops automatically at the end of tx from M1-8, so could this just be 
left to happen under computer control, even if the start of tx and of 
playback were two separate steps? I agree with Giulio, however, that under 
manual control the one button press to tx a message from M1-8 is a great 
feature.

Whilst on the subject of the KDVR3, which I must say makes excellent 
recordings, I've noticed that a recording does not appear at LIN OUT unless 
it's set to =PHONES. I wonder why this is.
