[Elecraft] K3 - control from keypad

[Wes (N7WS)]

Seems to me that this could be a cottage industry.  I would gladly pay for 
software that could implement this.  I have quite literally aggravated an old 
rotator cuff problem (surgery once) tuning and pushing buttons on my 
ergonomically-challenged K3.  I'm ready to rearrange the shack to put the radio 
on the left and have already trained my left hand to run the mouse.  A 
"flat-on-the-desk" keypad would be wonderful.
