[Elecraft] K3S Power On / PTT

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Part of the "short comings" is largely from the fact I have used radios 
from the major 4 companies for many years having been licensed for over 
50 years.  Each brand and model has or have their own uniqueness.   I 
don't want to come across in any form as negative or critical of the 
Elecraft product.  After all, I've spent nearly $4K for a new radio.  I 
view this as a wee bit more than "lunch money", although if I wanted or 
needed other options or configurations, I would have acquired such.

And yes, if I should find issues, be assured they will be investigated 
and documented and reported accordingly. Professionally, that's what 
I've done in years past with regard to software and firmware based 
systems.  At the same time, I'm not interested in nit picking the 
product.  I will take it for what it is and not what I'd like it to be.  
There is a significance difference.

One of my favorite sayings:  "when one points the finger at someone or 
something, they best look down for there's three fingers pointing back 
at the more likely cause".    I'll accept that on face value.
