I was using a K3 DVR in the California QSO party last weekend, 
where it provided its usual great performance. I had one issue 
that might be a simple firmware change.

When running a DVR memory in auto repeat mode, for CQing, if the 
VFO B display is set up to show internal parameters, like supply 
voltage, it quickly flashes "REPEAT" briefly at the start of 
each repeat of the message. When displaying the VFO B frequency, 
it shows "REPEAT" continuously, making it harder to tune the 
subreceiver. If it just flashed briefly, it would make tuning easier.

FWIW, we had 2 K3s and a KX3 in operation at 100 watts. There 
was very little interference at first, but when the batteries 
got low, the interference became intolerable. Swapping the 
batteries for fully charged ones corrected the problem.
