[Elecraft] disabled controls during TX

[Lu Romero]

Yes, I find it extremely annoying as well, one of my last
nagging issues with the radio.  I think it has something to
do with the radio being computer managed.  Since all my
previous rigs were analog, you could, for instance, change
bandwidth settings for the receiver while transmitting. 
Cant do that here, which is too bad.

If there is something that can be done to change this
situation, it would REALLY be a boon for contest operations.

Any possibility of this quirk being eradicated in the near
future?

Other than that, I continue to be delighted by the receiver
in this radio.  Simply magical!  The AF Limit feature is
terrific for use on 160m!  Loud static crashes become white
noise, and you can still hear signals underneath the white
noise!

I wonder if anyone else has noticed, most of the front panel
controls 
are disabled during TX?
It's quite annoying during a contest for example, where you
could use 
that little time to make an adjustment eg. change bandwidth,
turn on/off 
preamp etc. before the rig returns to RX.
I've never ever seen this behavior on any other rig that I
own.
