Hi,

Ballistic tuning or not is hardly a determining factor in choosing a radio,
but newer ICOM radios do this very well. My IC-718 which is now relegated to
backup radio (you can hear it at remotehams.com) certainly performs this
very nicely. My vote is for asking for this on the K3, but of course as a
CONFIG option so it won't bother those who don't want it.
