[Elecraft] K3 Tuning aid on digi mode

[Greg]

I believe one thing that is still planned is to be able to scroll back a
certain number of characters to see what was displayed.  I don't know how
large the scroll back buffer will be or when it will make its way to the top
of the list.

Yes, since you mention it I would find that handy, too. My memory is
hopeless, if I don't write something down the instant I heard it I've
forgotten it.

Yes, I've been extremely impressed with how good the CW decoder is. I have
run it in parallel with Fldigi and I could not say one is better than the
other.

Any feature to preserve the decoded text would be useful for the RTTY and
PSK decoders too. Although I guess you don't want to use a computer, I hope
one day to be able to get the decoded text from the K3 and display it on the
PC screen in KComm. (I know the firmware updater can do that, but it isn't
possible to do that and get other info from the radio at the same time,
which a logging program needs to do.)
