[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

Thank you, Dick.  You've explained my problem better than I.  In fact it didn't occur to me until you said it so plainly, only whole characters are being dropped.  Thank you.

For what it's worth, I have received private e-mails from others who experienced the same thing and gave up asking for help.

I'm afraid we disappointed are so few and the workaround (use a pc) so available that it may not be worth Elecraft's time to fix this.  

And even though it was my sole reason for spending the $5,200 upgrade to my KX3, I do use the K3 (with a Schurr Profi or a 9A5N paddle) everyday.  It turned out to be a superb backup while the KX3 system awaits repair.
