Maybe a new feature....

A way to step through or set power out put....say at 5 - 25 - 50 - 75 - 100.  I 
do like to run barefoot as much as possible, but when the dx shows up and I have 
to tune the amp (into a dummy load) I like to be able to switch quickly to 25 
watts without cranking the knob several times to get to 25 watts.  A button that 
could be programed for full or low power or steps in power.  I hope I am getting 
the idea across here.

Now I know....several guys have made T-Pads to run the full 100 watts out from 
the K3 reduce the power to the amp, but that does not work for me in my set up 
with my AL-82.  I was just thinking if the programming could be changed or a 
macro could be made to step through different power levels.

Just an idea

 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any 
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common 
Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.
