[Elecraft] K3/P3/SVGA

I would like to echo Jim's request.  I have the SVGA in my P3, and it's
really nice, but I don't like losing the VFO B readout when I'm decoding
RTTY.  It makes no sense to have a few characters being decoded on the K3
when hundreds of characters can be on the SVGA monitor.

Anyone from Elecraft, will the K3/P3/SVGA ever have the ability to decode on
the P3/SVGA attached big screen while NOT sending the decoded output to the
K3 VFO B area? I know it will decode to the large screen and at the same
time send that decoded text to the K3, but it sure would be nice to NOT send
the the decode text to the K3 VFO B area. I certainly have NO idea what's
involved, but it seems it might be a firmware change.

 I have been debating an SVGA add-on, since I have my K3/P3 and KPA500
pretty much loaded for my needs, but don't see any real benefit to the SVGA
card without the above stated ability.

 Seems a few others have also thought this a good idea some time back, but I
thought to ask again. Is it on an Elecraft 'to do' list?

BTW, my K3/P3/KPA500 is the best ham gear I have ever owned and operated in
50+ years of being a ham! Nothing else comes close. And, I have had a LOT of
gear!
