[Elecraft] K3 remote keypad option

[Dave]

I modified the PIC code in the QST article in 1999 that W2FS did for a
keypad for the IC-706 for the K3. This was necessary for me to overcome the
deficiency of the K3 that you STILL cant enter frequencies above 999.999MHz
from the front Panel

I notice he now sells kits /ready built units for radios other than the K3
at http://www.qsyer.com/ he might be persuaded to do a K3 version?

Has anyone suggested that Wayne and Eric develope a remote keypad for the
K3.  The keypad would be used as a direct entry band switch for each band
from 160 through 2 meters (if 2 meter module is installed in the K3). It
would also be nice to have a couple of buttons that could be programed for
other functions. Perhaps it could plug in to one of jacks on the rear panel
of the K3.

I mentioned this to someone this year at the Elecraft booth at Dayton (K8GG,
George). He mentioned that some other K3 users may have suggested such an
option before to Eric and Wayne. George was there to answer any questions
about the K3 and the KX-3. I may have also mentioned this to Lyle.
