[Elecraft] CW/CW-REV config option

[Claude Du Berger]

I am using CW-REV on my K3 with N1MM.
On N1MM: Config/mode Control   = Select Use Radio Mode (Default)

  Am I the only one who prefers to tune 'Up the Band' into a CW signal rather than
  from a frequency above a CW signal to receive it? Apparently not, since there is
  a 'CW-REV' button on the K3 as well as on many other radios. 

  Over the past 5 decades, I've become accustomed to tuning in CW stations from
  below the signal's transmitted frequency. Not all radios define 'CW' and
  'CW-REV' the same way. The Kenwood TS850 and other Kenwood transceivers have the
  user tuning into CW signals from below. Using narrow bandwith, a CW signal
  quickly disappears as the receiver is tuned above the signal frequency. Icom
  radios and the K3 are the opposite, where the 'CW' mode has the user tuning in
  CW stations from above the signal's frequency.  Users who wish to tune from
  below and into a signal must switch to 'CW-REV'. This is not a problem since the
  K3 remembers this preference on each band. 

  However, when rig controlling software programs such as CT, N1MM, RXCLUS, etc.
  are used, every time the 'CW' mode command is sent by the program to the K3, the
  radio switches to the 'CW' mode rather that the prefered 'CW-REV' mode. 

  Would it be possible to have a CONFIG setting which would allow the user to
  define 'CW' and 'CW-REV' modes, that is, the way of tuning into CW signal
  frequencies (lower to higher or higher to lower)?  If this option was available,
  when radio controlling software sent a generic 'CW' mode change to the K3,  it
  would respond by switching to the user's prefered way (CW or CW-REV) of tuning
  into CW signals.

  What say?
