[Elecraft] K3 Power off (subject change)

[John Ragle]

  I would like to add my opinion to those who have already written about 
a Power Off delay on the K3. I use an ICOM 910H for VHF/UHF coverage 
which has this feature, and it is a nuisance, though minor.

My K3's power switch is ergonomically located in such a way that it 
would seem almost impossible to punch it by mistake during a QSO, and I 
would not like it to have a delay...it is fine the way it is; please 
don't change it in future versions.

However, no matter how this shakes down, in case of "fire," one can 
always turn off the power supply. I have yet to encounter one of those 
with a time delay on the power switch. Even an "arc welder" supply like 
the Astron 70 will power down and bleed off voltage very quickly.
