[Elecraft] [K3] Main vs. Config Menus

[Tony Fegan VE3QF]

Mike,
	I thought about this some time ago but as I got used to the present 
arrangement subsequently forgot about it. I can never remember which 
items are in the MENU, which were in the CONFIG and which require TECH MD.

	Would it be possible to start out with everything in the CONFIG and 
have an option to move your personal choice of items, you regularly 
change while operating, to the MENU.
	By saving your settings you could even have different MENU items for 
SSB, for CW and for DATA. The appropriate settings could be loaded 
before a contest. The list of MENU items could be very small for fast 
access. Perhaps items could be sent to the MENU by MODE or even 
operation type (contest, DX chasing, 160M, 6M)?

	If its just a couple of items then the PF keys can be used but you have 
to set that up.
	I don't know whether many K3 owners would be interested in such a 
feature. How many times do you use MENU/CONFIG during normal operation? 
It seems that we never stop asking for changes to the firmware but a 
healthy discussion usually produces better ways of getting the most out 
of the K3 which may, or may not, require a firmware change. (We are 
always thinking of you Wayne... Lyle...!)
