[Elecraft] K3 Beta 5r10 and LINK

[Gary Gregory]

Ian,

I agree absolutely, hence my use of LINK the way i do.

I have no idea where Elecraft will take this but i can say if i have to
resort to creating a
Macro, assigning it to another key (i already use PF1 and PF2) then i will
be annoyed that i have to change the way i have operated for 7 years just
to satisfy others.

Ekecraft want to enrich the features is terrific....try not to alienate
satisfied customers is also desirable i would have thought.

Oh well, it is what it is so for now i will watch and wait before making a
decision on what i will do if the advocates have there way. I just hope
elecraft consider the whole user base prior to making this change. I know i
am not the only one using LINK the way i do.
