[Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3

[Drew AF2Z]

I have also thought that an audible SWR indicator would be very useful 
but never bothered to mention it as most would probably consider it to 
be a little too gimmicky. But it would be quite handy for me when I'm 
using an external match box-- when I lean across the desk to adjust it I 
can no longer easily see the little SWR meter indicator in the K3 display.

I'd suggest a "geiger counter" type audible indicator: a fast beep  for 
SWR values greter than 3:1 and progressively slower as you zero in on 1:1.

73,
