[Elecraft] KX3 internal microphone

[Howard Evans]

OTOH... my wife and I have Bluetooth earbud/microphone sets we can "pair" 
with our cell phones. Perhaps a teeny tiny additional circuit in the KX3 
would allow me to pair my Bluetooth gizmo with the KX3.

While you are doing this, might as well add voice recognition software so I 
can say "band up" or "band down" or "VFO up" or "VFO down" or "nail that CW 
caller" (with voice to CW translation at the callers speed). No need for CW 
to voice translation, just learn International Morse code.
