[Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3

[Grant Youngman]

I suppose that would be useful, as long as it didn’t beep at you incessantly every time an internal ATU cycle was run.

But If I had to reach around to use an external matchbox and didn’t have a visual indication of SWR while trying to do that, I think I’d rearrange my station :-)  Trying to tune a matchbox with nothing but a digital readout (rather than an analog meter indication) is a hair-pulling PITA anyway.

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.
