I'd like to see these things too, but the panadapter and an up-to-date 
manual that better integrates new functions are the things on your list 
that I'd most like to see. Asynchronous detection is nice, but I didn't buy 
my K3s to ragchew on AM or listen to shortwave. Others may have different 
priorities. :) 

I have to agree with the above.

I do NOT find the K3 to be complex, try the FTdx-9000 and you may find as I did that this radio is quite complex and I hope the K3 will never go down that Interstate.

The Hi/Lo cut granularity issue is high on my wish list but the AM issue is not on my list at all...:-)

I am a newbie to the world of contesting and having tried it quite few times with other radios I decided it was not for. Since I got the K3 my mind has done a back flip (bit like our politicians?) And now get satisfaction from contesting as it pushes the boundaries of both the equipment and the mind.
