Interesting observations.  As one example of "wish list" items that is 
particularly close for me is my requests for the keying algorithms be 
expanded to include Ultimatic keying.   I have been asking for that 
since the early days of the K2, but so far has not been forthcoming.  I 
guess there are not enough other 'squeaky wheels' out there to make it 
to the list of priority changes.
I really don't mind because I have resigned myself to the use of single 
lever paddles.  It would be nice to be able to do dot/dash insertions 
that are possible with Ultimatic keying, but I simply cannot do Iambic 
keying with dual lever paddles.

Maybe someday Wayne will have time to add it, but I am not holding my 
breath, and I don't think my K2, K3 and KX3 are poorer transceivers 
because my request has not been implemented - there are other more 
important things "on the list".

73,
