No I'm not a programmer, but you can get the gist of it.  It's almost that
easy already.

I'm sure Ron AC7AC's ideas were somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but think of the
possibilities, all within reach:

1. Voice operated - "K3, go to 14313 USB, tune the antenna, and set output
power at 100 watts"

2. Voice recognition - the K3 scans the bands looking for a SSB signal, then
detects the operator's call sign.

3. Content filtering (aka "Snowden mode") - same as 2 above, but the K3
stops
if it hears a call sign from a list input by the operator.

4. Cognitive radio - the K3 scans the bands for a signal, then determines
its 
characteristics (CW/USB/LSB/AM/FM, digital details) and set itself up to
match.

5. "Heads-up" display.
