[Elecraft] K3; Eric, Wayne, a feature for the wish list

[Richard Fjeld]

You have some excellent menu options in the K3, even a built-in 2-tone generator for checking SSB.  There is the SW Tone option to aid visually impaired people, and others, know when something is turned on, or off, by it's tones.  Also, I understand there is Elecraft software that speaks from a computer as controls are used. I think your f/w and s/w are excellent.

Some of the hams I round-table with are up in the years, and struggle to hear.  I use a headset mike which makes no mechanical sound when I release the remote PTT.  They can't tell when I release it unless I say 'over'.  I optioned CW+SSB, but I often forget to tap the paddle when I'm done talking.

Knowing I run a K3, I have been asked if it could be optioned to beep when the PTT is released.  

For your consideration, and thanks.
